Failover domain failback doesn't work.

[aTan]

Hi. I've set up a failover domain for VMs. When node1 crashes VMs are relocated to node2. It works fine (it'd worked before I've created failover domain). But when node1 recovers, VMs are not relocated back to it.

  <rm>
    <pvevm autostart="1" vmid="1000" domain="vmdomain"/>
    <pvevm autostart="1" vmid="1001" domain="vmdomain"/>
    <failoverdomains>
      <failoverdomain name="vmdomain" nofailback="0" ordered="1" restricted="0">
        <failoverdomainnode name="node1" priority="1"/>
        <failoverdomainnode name="node2" priority="2"/>
      </failoverdomain>
    </failoverdomains>
  </rm>

Any idea?

 

[dietmar]

May guess is that the heuristics gives quorum while you are not quorate. I would use quorumd without heuristics (so that master_wins=1 gets activated),

 

[aTan]

This is it. After removing the first heuristic rule it tries to migrate it back. Thank you.

hello aTan,...

if you find out your solution, could you please to post the full cluster.conf again ? so that I can also see the solution and where is the wrong. thanks a lot
