Fencing fails and the logs report for the expected device: "notice: can_fence_host_with_device: <device> can not fence (reboot) <node>: static-list" in a RHEL 6 or 7 High Availability cluster with pacemaker

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • We have a fence_ipmilan stonith device as the primary for each node, then a fence_scsi device as backup. These are configured in separate levels for each node. When a node needs to be fenced, we see "node2-ilo cannot fence (reboot) node1: static-list" in the logs
Nov 25 07:48:00 node3 stonith-ng[29581]:   notice: can_fence_host_with_device: node2-ilo can not fence (reboot) node1: static-list
  • Fencing is failing and the logs are saying that our device can't fence the node because "static-list"

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 or 7 with the High Availability Add-On
  • pacemaker
