Hi Shu,
first, for the manual fence to work ("confirm host have been rebooted") you
will need
another host in the cluster which will be used as a proxy and send the actual
manual fence command.
second, you are absolutely right, loss of network is a common scenario, and we
should be able
to recover, but lets try to understand why your host remain unresponsive after
network returned.
please ssh to the host and try the following:
- vdsClient -s 0 getVdsCaps (validity check making sure vdsm service is up and
running and communicate with its network socket from localhost)
- please ping between host and engine
- please make sure there is no firewall on blocking tcp 54321 (on both host and
engine)
also, please provide vdsm.log (from the time network issues begun) and
spm-lock.log (both located on /var/log/vdsm/).
as for a mitigation, we can always manipulate db and set it correctly, but
first, lets try the above.
