Hi. I have a cluster of three nodes (node1, node2, node3) with qdisk, running clvmd on storage. Current uptime is 22 days. Today I had to turn off one node for hardware maintanance. After powering the node on, node join cluster, but clvmd/rgmanager just get stuck. I suppose they can't communicate with cman... Other nodes see the new node, and node sees them, but rgmanager is just stuck. On the booted node I see this: # clustat Cluster Status for one2play-c00 @ Tue Mar 23 21:06:29 2010 Member Status: Quorate Member Name ID Status ------ ---- ---- ------ node1 1 Online, Local node2 2 Online node3 3 Online /dev/dm-0 0 Online, Quorum Disk No services at all.... So I've disabled startup of rgmanager and clvmd: # chkconfig --level 2345 rgmanager off # chkconfig --level 2345 clvmd off And tried to reboot the node. Node gets stuck with stopping rgmanager. So I killed the stop script. After that shutdown continued, but halted again, after leaving the qdisk... Only thing I could do then was to reboot the node (issuing fence_node node1 on node2). Now, after startup, I have the same exact issue. Here I try manually to start clvmd: # /etc/init.d/clvmd start Starting clvmd: clvmd startup timed out [FAILED] # ps -ef | grep clvm root 6162 1 0 20:59 ? 00:00:00 clvmd -T20 So obviously something's wrong. I've seen this issue before, and I resolved it by rebooting all the cluster members... But that solution is out of question in the long term... Do you have any ideas? I've found this old thread, with the following explanation: > Rgmanager thinks qdisk is a node (with node ID 0), so it tries to send > VF information to node 0 - which doesn't exist, causing rgmanger to > not work when qdisk is running :( http://www.redhat.com/archives/cluster-devel/2007-April/msg00064.html I this a similar issue? Services trying to communicate with member 0, which is a qdisk and not a real member? :-/ -- | Jakov Sosic | ICQ: 28410271 | PGP: 0x965CAE2D | ================================================================= | start fighting cancer -> http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ | -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
