Nodes receive "reservation conflict" errors when cluster daemons are stopped manually or when the fence_scsi device is removed from the configuration in a RHEL 5, 6, or 7 High Availability cluster
Issue
- I get "reservation conflict" errors when accessing shared storage devices after stopping the cluster daemons on all nodes.
- The cluster doesn't appear to be removing SCSI reservations from our disks when we stop the cluster
- After stopping the cluster services
cman
,clvmd
,rgmanager
, on a cluster node, the SCSI reservation keys for that node are still present on SAN devices - We've removed the
fence_scsi
device from our cluster configuration because we're switching to a different method, but we still get "reservation conflict" errors on the nodes even after restarting the cluster
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5, 6, or 7 with the High Availability Add On
- Cluster configured to use SCSI Persistent Reservation Fencing (
fence_scsi
) in/etc/cluster/cluster.conf
