Node is unable to mount a GFS or GFS2 file systems after a fence or reboot with the error "node not a member of the default fence domain" in RHEL 4, 5, or 6
Issue
- When the GFS filesystem is mounted on any cluster node, running
mount -a
produces the following messages in/var/log/messages
:
/sbin/mount.gfs: node not a member of the default fence domain
/sbin/mount.gfs: error mounting lockproto lock_dlm
/sbin/mount.gfs: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused
/sbin/mount.gfs: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused
/sbin/mount.gfs: gfs_controld not running
/sbin/mount.gfs: error mounting lockproto lock_dlm
- The GFS filesystem will not mount automatically when booting the system, and produces an error when attempting to mount it manually.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with the Resilient Storage Add-on
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 with the Resilient Storage Add-on
- One or more GFS or GFS2 filesystems
