One or more nodes is killed in a RHEL 5 cluster after nodes report "openais[xxxx]: Killing node nodeX because it has rejoined the cluster with existing state"
Issue
-
Both nodes in the cluster killed each other simultaneously after a token loss:
openais[3707]: [MAIN ] Killing node node2.example.com because it has rejoined the cluster with existing state openais[3707]: [CMAN ] cman killed by node 2 because we rejoined the cluster without a full restart gfs_controld[2759]: cluster is down, exiting dlm_controld[2753]: cluster is down, exiting kernel: dlm: closing connection to node 2 -
Why did my two node cluster go down after a network failure?
-
There was a network split in my cluster, followed by the network then recovering, and a node was killed because it "rejoined the cluster without a full restart".
