I am using Centos5.1 with GNBD and GNBD fencing. Following the failure of a cluster member - eg a temporary loss of connectivity - which results in the node being fenced, is there a clean way to re-join the cluster without having to reboot the affected node?
I am finding that it is impossible to shut down or restart the cluster components on the affected node, and even trying to force a reboot from a ssh session just hangs. There seems to be a chicken-and-egg situation - a gfs filesystem cannot be unmounted if the node is fenced, and cman/clvmd cannot be stopped/restarted if a filesystem is mounted. Forcibly trying to kill the cluster processes also fails. -- Cliff -- Linux-cluster mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
