Starting a recently added cluster node fails with "Waiting for quorum... Timed-out waiting for cluster" in a RHEL 6 High Availability cluster using the UDPU transport

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • I'm trying to increase a 3 node-cluster to 4 nodes, but I’m not able to get a quorum when I try to start cman on the new node.
# ccs -h node4.example.com --startall
[...]
Unable to start node4.example.com, possibly due to lack of quorum, try --startall
Error: service cman start failed:
  • We added a new node to the cluster, but starting cman fails with "Timed-out waiting for cluster"
