fence_kdump times out when fence_kdump_nodes is not specified with kexec-tools version 2.0.15 or later
Issue
- I need to capture a vmcore from a cluster node, but
fence_kdump
times out every time that node crashes. fence_kdump
fails with "timeout after 60 seconds" and the node gets fenced before the core is dumped.- If I test
fence_kdump
by panicking a node,fence_kdump
fails with a time out error. If I take the node out of the cluster and panic it, it dumps a core successfully.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or 8 (with the High Availability Add-on)
kexec-tools-2.0.15-13.el7
or laterfence_kdump
