I have been using a 2-node cluster with a quorum disk successfully for about 2 years. Beginning today, the cluster will not boot correctly. The RHCS services start, but fencing fails with: dlm: no local IP address has been set dlm: cannot start dlm lowcomms -107 This seems to be a symtpom of the fact that the cluster votes do not include votes from the quorum device: # clustat Cluster Status for example-infra @ Tue Mar 15 00:02:35 2011 Member Status: Inquorate Member Name ID Status ------ ---- ---- ------ example-infr2-admin.domain.com 1 Online, Local example-infr1-admin.domain.com 2 Offline /dev/mpath/quorum 0 Offline [root@example-infr2 ~]# cman_tool status Version: 6.2.0 Config Version: 239 Cluster Name: example-infra Cluster Id: 42813 Cluster Member: Yes Cluster Generation: 676844 Membership state: Cluster-Member Nodes: 1 Expected votes: 2 Total votes: 1 Quorum: 2 Activity blocked Active subsystems: 7 Flags: Ports Bound: 0 Node name: example-infr2-admin.domain.com Node ID: 1 Multicast addresses: 239.192.167.228 Node addresses: 192.168.110.3 The shared-SAN-disk quorum device is readable from each node. Testing with "mkqdisk -L" and "dd if=/dev/mpath/quorum of=/dev/quorum.dump" both succeed from each node. When run in the foreground, "qdisk -d -f" gives messages that seem to indicate that it is successful: # qdiskd -d -f [22568] debug: Loading configuration information [22568] debug: Heuristic: '/bin/ping -c3 -W1 -t2 192.168.110.10' score=1 interval=2 tko=9 [22568] debug: 1 heuristics loaded [22568] debug: Quorum Daemon: 1 heuristics, 3 interval, 15 tko, 1 votes [22568] debug: Run Flags: 00000035 [22568] info: Quorum Daemon Initializing [22568] debug: I/O Size: 512 Page Size: 4096 [22569] info: Heuristic: '/bin/ping -c3 -W1 -t2 192.168.110.10' UP [22568] debug: Node 3 is UP [22568] info: Node 3 is the master [22568] info: Initial score 1/1 [22568] info: Initialization complete [22568] notice: Score sufficient for master operation (1/1; required=1); upgrading Any suggestions?
