So, set that in /etc/default/cman? It currently defaults to 45 seconds. Set it to a longer value? Not sure how that will help. There is also FENCE_JOIN_TIMEOUT, which defaults to 20 seconds. Would changing it help? But, it's easy to try things. Thanks! Regards.

This is a common problem, and can often be fixed by increasing FENCED_MEMBER_DELAY in init.d/cman to the time it takes the nodes to converge. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
