So how does one properly shutdown and/or start up a GFS 6.1 cluster.
Documentation on the procedures are surprisingly sparse. For example,
what I've experienced during shutdown are messages like:
CMAN: sendmsg failed: -101
CMAN: we are leaving the cluster.
from the node shutting down while the the other nodes report that this
node needs to be fenced off. What?! Fenced during a controlled
shutdown? Is that correct? During a complete cluster shutdown, of
course quorum, at some point is lost, freezing the nodes that have not
completely shutdown forcing a hard reset on those nodes. I'm probably
missing something trivial here, but this doesn't seem right.
Start up also suffers from the "quorum" problem, but it seems to
recovery once enough nodes are up.
