node reboots immediately after it starts rgmanager with message "<err> Unable to deactivate REBOOT" in a RHEL 5 High Availability cluster

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • My node was fenced and as soon as it rejoins the cluster now, it reboots again. This has happened over and over every time we boot it back up.
  • When joining the cluster, the node seems to start up but then reboots itself with a message from clurgmgrd about "unable to deactivate"
Jul 25 01:18:05 node1 clurgmgrd[13951]: <notice> Resource Group Manager Starting 
[...]
Jul 25 01:18:08 node1 clurgmgrd: [13951]: <err> Unable to deactivate  REBOOT

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 with the High Availability Add On
  • One or more <lvm/> resources in /etc/cluster/cluster.conf with self_fence="1" set
  • One or more logical volumes in a volume group controlled by an <lvm/> resource is mounted or activated through a facility outside of the resource manager, such as if it is listed in /etc/fstab.
