Hello,
I recently configured a 3-node fileserver cluster by building Corosync 2.1.0 and Pacemaker 1.1.8 from source. All of the nodes are running Ubuntu 12.04 amd64. Two of the nodes (storage0 and storage1) are "real" nodes where the resources run (a DRBD disk, filesystem mount, and samba/nfs daemons), while the third node (storagequorum) is in standby mode and acts as a quorum node for the cluster. Today I discovered that corosync died on both storage0 and storage1 at the same time. Since corosync died, pacemaker shut down as well on both nodes. Because the cluster no longer had quorum (and the no-quorum-policy="freeze"), storagequorum was unable to STONITH either node and just left the resources frozen where they were running, on storage0. I cannot find any log information to determine why corosync crashed, and this is a disturbing problem as the cluster and its messaging layer must be stable. Below is my corosync configuration file as well as the corosync log file from each node during this period.
corosync.conf:
http://pastebin.com/vWQDVmg8
Note that I have two redundant rings. On one of them, I specify the IP address (in this example 10.10.10.7) so that it binds to the correct interface (since potentially in the future those machines may have two interfaces on the same subnet).
corosync.log from storage0:
http://pastebin.com/HK8KYDDQ
corosync.log from storage1:
http://pastebin.com/sDWkcPUz
corosync.log from storagequorum (the DC during this period):
http://pastebin.com/uENQ5fnf
Issuing service corosync start && service pacemaker start on storage0 and storage1 resolved the problem and allowed the nodes to successfully reconnect to the cluster. What other information can I provide to help diagnose this problem and prevent it from recurring?
Thanks,
Andrew Martin
