Hello Steve,

If I just increase token_retransmits_before_loss, without increasing token, won't it just send more tokens during the same time? For example 8 in 30s instead of 4? The last few times the network interruption wasn't longer than a minute, last time the cluster was even going to reform, but the fencing was already initiated by fenced.

I want to allow a bit more time in which the nodes can resume communication and though increasing token timeout should do it. Do you mean to also increase the token_retransmits_before_loss proportionally?

Vasil,

I am not sure why you would have network disruption for 4 lost tokens, but transmitting 8 gives better chance they will reach. UDP (the transport used) can lose those retransmitted tokens. Increasing the token timer will allow more time for whatever action your doing on the network that takes it out of service to repair.

    Hello all,

    I have a RHEL 5 (openais) cluster with intermittent issues on the
    heartbeat network, and was thinking to increase the totem token
    value to 90s (currently is 30s).

    Are there any negative effects from this change, apart from the
    cluster taking longer to detect a node is failed - can this cause
    data corruption for example or something like that?

    Vasil,

    I doubt going from 30s to 90s would make a difference with
    healthchecking performed.  You may be better off increasing
    token_retransmits_before_loss_const.  Also make sure your running
    the latest z stream.
