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

Solution Verified - Updated -

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
