RHEL 6 High Availability cluster nodes running in VMWare vSphere are unable to join a cluster together
Issue
- When adding a node to a cluster, rgmanager comes online, but cman is waiting on cluster.
- We have a two node VM cluster, and are adding a third node. That node just sits and waits at "Waiting for quorum" and eventually fails with "Timed-out waiting for cluster".
- Two nodes running in VMWare try to start cman, and one fences the other
- Cluster fenced running node when another node comes up.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 with the High Availability Add On
- Nodes running in VMWare vSphere
