Can two-node RHEL 7 High Availability clusters using corosync, votequorum, and pacemaker be susceptible to fence loops?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I have a two-node cluster using pacemaker. Do I need to worry about fence loops like I did with older cman clusters?
  • Does corosync with votequorum have a problem with fence loops where the network goes down, a node gets fenced, then fences the other node when it boots back up?
  • How can I avoid fence loops with pacemaker in RHEL 7?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 with the High Availability Add On
  • pacemaker
  • corosync with votequorum
  • Two-node cluster
