Cluster services and/or GFS2 become blocked when a node fails or leaves in a RHEL 6 High Availability cluster running Trend Micro Server

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • GFS2 cluster requires all servers to be rebooted at the same time.
  • If one node in the cluster reboots, the other node just blocks and never fences it and its GFS2 file systems become blocked
  • I see the kernel reporting corosync has blocked for more than 120 seconds after a TOTEM processor failure, and other GFS2-related processes block as well:
