Fencing works from command line but fails when issued automatically by the cluster in a recently configured RHEL 5 or 6 High Availability cluster
Issue
- When I test fencing manually from the command line, it works. However when I power off a node, fencing fails repeatedly.
- I am configuring fencing and am able to do it on a node level, however when the VM is destroyed to simulate a node failure the fencing of the clustered resources fails as fenced is unable to fence the other node that is already offline.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 or 6 with the High Availability Add On
- In
/etc/cluster/cluster.conf, the<clusternode>in question does not have any associated<fence><method><device/></method></fence>
