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