stonith-timeout and stonith-action properies are ignored when running pcs stonith fence command in a Pacemaker cluster

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • The stonith-timeout and stonith-action cluster properties only apply to stonith actions (on/off/reboot) created by the Pacemaker scheduler.
  • stonith-timeout and stonith-action do not apply to fencing by the stonith_admin or pcs stonith fence <node> commands.
  • Why did my fence test time out even after I increased stonith-timeout?
  • Why did my fence test reboot a node even after I set stonith-action=off?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (with the High Availability Add-on)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (with the High Availability Add-on)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (with the High Availability Add-on)
  • Pacemaker
