Hi,

I've added a new node to my cluster on which I am unable to start fencing

On blh02-12 :

root@blh02-12#fence_tool join
fence_tool: fenced not running, no lockfile

I'd appreciate very much some tips about how to troubleshoot / which logs to check as, as far as I understood, the only think you need to do for fencing to work is to enable it in /etc/default/redhat-cluster-pve

here are some info - commands ran on a different node

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt response
Fencing was enabled in /etc/default/redhat-cluster-pve

I just rebooted the server and it is working fine now - no idea why as I have rebooted the server before posting on the forum

Thanks
Steven
