I have been trying multiple times to try to get the corosync-qdevice package installed on my nodes but I am unable to. I have configured the apt sources list but still ran into the same issue.


Code: 
root@133001sr-node1:~# apt install corosync-qdevice
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package corosync-qdevice
 
What does this say?

Bash: 
uname -a
cat /etc/os-release
apt update
find /etc/apt/ -type f -name "*.list" -exec tail -n +1 {} +
apt show corosync-qdevice

Ah apparently my servers are unable to ping the outside web now, but still have no idea why.
 
Please try to avoid unnecessarily quoting messages.
It's not clear what you tried to ping exactly. Let's start with this and go from there
Bash: 
ping 8.8.8.8
cat /etc/resolv.conf
Where is this server hosted?

The server is hosted on my own internal network
Servers -> TL-SG108E Switch -> HPE Aruba 1930 Switch -> PFsense router -> Modem
I can ping all except the modem from my host.

I have managed to resolve the issue, the gateway was improperly set in the server's network, I will mark this as resolved now.

While the outside network connection now works, I am still unable to install the corosync package and receive the same error.

My nodes are correctly configured for DNS. I have no problems resolving anything from them and outbound connectivity is confirmed.

But I'm also having the same problem on my nodes:

But it appears that the binaries may already be installed because I'm able to attempt setting up my qdevice. However, when I try I get these errors:

Okay... I figured out what my issue was.

I had disabled the non-enterprise repositories. I thought I needed to do that since I have licenses on both nodes for the enterprise repo's. (I would appreciate any comments on this..)

Even though I had enabled the non-enterprise repo's, I was still unable to install the qdevice. But apparently I needed to run "apt update" after re-enabling the non-enterprise repo's. After doing that, I was able to install the corosync-qdevice package and then successfully setup my qdevice.

I'll chock this up to being a complete n00b with Linux...
