  • fence_virt example with RHEL7 HA addon ?

    Posted on

    Hi...

    I'm trying to get a handle on RHEL 7 HA configuration. To that end, I have created two RHEL 7 RC2 VMs on a RHEL 7 RC2 host.

    I followed the (skimpy) documentation in the RHEL 7 HA Admin Guide and setup a cluster.

    [root@rhel7-n2 log]# pcs status
    Cluster name: my_cluster
    WARNING: no stonith devices and stonith-enabled is not false
    Last updated: Thu May 15 14:45:57 2014
    Last change: Thu May 15 14:45:51 2014 via cibadmin on rhel7-n2.wtec
    Stack: corosync
    Current DC: rhel7-n1.wtec (2) - partition with quorum
    Version: 1.1.10-29.el7-368c726
    2 Nodes configured
    0 Resources configured

    Online: [ rhel7-n1.wtec rhel7-n2.wtec ]

    Full list of resources:

    PCSD Status:
    rhel7-n2.wtec: Online
    rhel7-n1.wtec: Online

    Daemon Status:
    corosync: active/enabled
    pacemaker: active/enabled
    pcsd: active/enabled

    So far, so good, but I have been stuck at trying to create a fence with fence_virt.

    This appears to need configuration on the host, from upstream pacemaker docs:

    http://clusterlabs.org/wiki/Guest_Fencing#For_Guests_Running_on_a_Single_Host

    My host can 'see' the guests and the key propagate to each of them:

    [root@bl460g8-tux cluster]# fence_xvm -o list
    rhel7-n1 01014c50-b680-4f92-86ac-4e40366abae4 on
    rhel7-n2 0a9febda-1597-4926-99b8-d948ed7899d2 on

    However I configure fence_virt, it always fails:

    [root@rhel7-n2 ~]# pcs stonith create killme fence_virt

    [root@rhel7-n2 ~]# pcs status
    Cluster name: my_cluster

    killme (stonith:fence_virt): Stopped

    killme_start_0 on rhel7-n2.wtec 'unknown error' (1): call=41, status=Error, last-rc-change='Thu May 15 14:48:14 2014', queued=7012ms, exec=0ms

    PCSD Status:

    rhel7-n1.wtec: Online

    Daemon Status:
    corosync: active/enabled
    pacemaker: active/enabled
    pcsd: active/enabled

    I've tried both fence_virt and fence_xvm.

    Neither works for me.

    Any thoughts? Is this supposed to work in RHEL 7 RC2 ?

    Thanks,

    Rick
