rgmanager leaves a service in a Stopped state even when a node is available after node reboots when using exclusive=1 and an ordered failoverdomain in a RHEL 6 High Availability cluster

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • We reboot our nodes in a rolling fashion and the services move around. After one of these reboots, we are always left with one of our services being in a Stopped state, and rgmanager doesn't make any attempt to start it.

  • exclusive service not getting started on a free node if its primary node is hosting another service.

  • Service is left in a Stopped state by rgmanager if its preferred node has an exclusive service on it, even if another node is available.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 with the High Availability Add On
  • rgmanager
  • One or more services marked with exclusive=1 residing in a failoverdomain with nofailback=1 and ordered=1
