Cluster services fail to start via ccs --startall on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Receiving the following message when I attempt to start the nodes in the cluster:
[root@node1 tmp]# ccs -h node1-priv --startall
Unable to start node1-priv, possibly do to lack of quorum, try --startall
Error: service cman start failed:
Unable to start node2-priv, possibly do to lack of quorum, try --startall
Error: service cman start failed:

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 (with the High Availability or Resilient Storage Add Ons)
  • Red Hat High Availability cluster with 2 or more nodes
  • Attempting to start cluster with ccs -h node1.example.com --startall
  • clusternode name from /etc/cluster/cluster.conf is listed in /etc/hosts but it is not the first alias after the canonical name (in example, clusternode name="node1-priv", which is second alias behind "node1"):
# grep node1-priv /etc/hosts
10.10.10.1   node1.example.com node1 node1-priv
