Pacemaker fails to start after an interrupted yum update

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • A node was fenced or yum was otherwise prematurely interrupted during a yum update command. Subsequently, pacemaker fails to start with errors such as the following:

    Feb  5 20:34:28 node1 systemd: pacemaker.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=127/n/a
    Feb  5 20:34:28 node1 systemd: Unit pacemaker.service entered failed state.

    Feb  5 20:34:28 node1 systemd: Unit pacemaker.service entered failed state.
    Feb  5 20:34:28 node1 systemd: pacemaker.service failed.
    
  • Starting pacemakerd in the foreground results in a missing library error.

    # /usr/sbin/pacemakerd -f
    /usr/sbin/pacemakerd: error while loading shared libraries: libcrmservice.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
