    Expected behavior from watchdog-mux with a networking outage? (HA, Corosync, and Softdog fencing)

    What’s the expected behavior here? I have a 3-node cluster with dedicated physical corosync network, and a 2nd faster network for storage and networking. The corosync network is configured to failover to the fast network if interrupted. High availability is configured on guests with shared...

Now, the details: I have a cluster of 4 nodes, where 1 is constantly down, because it has a hardware failure and we are waiting for spare parts. So, the cluster has 4 nodes, where 3 of them are alive. Now, I rebooted one...

    HA delays and locking issues

    We are currently running tests on a new three node HA cluster configured with 2x10G networking and shared (Ceph) storage. We are using the latest stable packages for Proxmox 5.3. The behaviour around reboots of servers is nowhere near as smooth as we would like. These are the issues that we...

    Fencing mit Reboot

    Hallo, wir betreiben ein HA-Cluster mit 6 Nodes produktiv. Alle paar Monate wird ohne "erkenntlichen" Grund ein Knoten neu rebootet mit folgender nachträglicher Meldung "fencing: acknowledged - got agent lock for node" . Sämtliche Logdateien sind unfaufälig. Da ein Reboot immer mit Ausfällen...

    Ich finde zu Proxmox 5 keine vernünftige Anleitung wie ich das mit fencing mache welches für HA eine Voraussetzung sein soll. Mir kommt das so vor als wenn ich per hand wie mit ceph noch was nachinstallieren muss. ich habe die datei /etc/init.d/pve-cluster abgeändert. dort den Eintrag...

    Limitation of fencing attempts

    Hello everyone, I build a Proxmox 3.4 two node cluster with two Dell R210 and a third node as iscsiTarget. This works still great. I use IDRAC for fencing and DRBD as storage. But after a powerfailure of node1, node2 tries to fence node1 with IDRAC. But IDRAC doesn't really work without power...

    Dear colleagues, I moved to Proxmox 5 in a dev environment and was wondering how to setup the hardware watchdog. On the same hardware running Proxmox 4, a kernel module ipmi_watchdog has been loaded. Now I can only find the following modules. lsmod |grep ipmi ipmi_ssif 24576 0...

    Faulty storage connectivity and HA

    We are trying to build HA cluster with iSCSI storage over dedicated network interface. Looks like disconnecting storage network (in any way - physical fault or misconfiguration) doent lead to any reaction from PVE HA. For example, if node connection to iscsi storage failed, we got messages like...

    False Fencing Issue

    I came from Vmware and have been happy with Proxmox the one dark spot is it seems like my cluster is doing false fences. Where it just takes down a node randomly and fences the VM. Also if I take down one node manually it seems to restart all of my nodes which doesn't make any sense. I check the...

    [SOLVED] Watchdog fence for physical nodes

    In Proxmox 3.x I setup fencing using apc pdus. I did not have any HA VMs setup but if one of the Proxmox nodes locked up or crashed the node would fenced. Is it possible to replicate this behavior In 4.x and 5.x? I'm fine with the watchdog as the method of fencing just don't see a way to make...
