Cluster Creation - Waiting in Quorum, can not add nodes to cluster

[Marek Šiller]

I have been trying to update our Proxmox cluster from version 3.4 to version 4.1.

The installation of first two nodes was successful, so I have created a nea cluster using "pvecm create" command. The creation of the cluster was also successful.

After trying to join the second node to the cluster, I get only the message "Waiting for quorum". But quorum is never built. I can see the second node in the Web Console, but ut appears off-line (Message Error 596 Broken pipe).

Things I have already tried:
* New installation of both nodes
* Setting 2 votes for the first node, so that quorum can be built
* Multicast works on the network, tested with omping as described in Cluster Troubleshooting

Does anyone has an idea, why the cluster is not working?

I can provide further information if needed.

Thanks for your help!

Not sure, but here are some thoughts:

1. Is there a firewall enabled on the nodes?
2. Do you use bonding? If yes, which mode? Only active-backup works OK.
3. Does all the nodes show the same Multicast address when you execute:

corosync-cmapctl -g totem.interface.0.mcastaddr

4. What does the messages, syslog and daemon.log says?
