all nodes are up - fencing tested and working but:

when i try to migrate an offline vm i get:

Executing HA migrate for VM 100 to node proxmoxnode2
Trying to migrate pvevm:100 to proxmoxnode2...Temporary failure; try again
TASK ERROR: command 'clusvcadm -M pvevm:100 -m proxmoxnode2' failed: exit code 250

any clues?

regards

Is there more information in the (other) task log?

 

[coolcat1975]

hi dietmar!

actually for some reason it started to work and everything is functional now.

the only thing left open is the certificate error on the webinterface when i am for example on node1 and the go to node2 and want to take a look at eg the local storage

 

[dietmar]

What is the output of

# dpkg -l libwww-perl

on that node?

 

[coolcat1975]

good morning

i checked all three nodes as the error occurs on all nodes

output is on all nodes the same:

root@proxmoxnode1:~# dpkg -l libwww-perl
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

I get that behavior if I use verify_hostname = 1 (LWP::UserAgent) - maybe you set that somewhere?

 

[coolcat1975]

hmm no not really

the only thing where i dealed with this was when installing the fence agent for vmware, but there it is set to 0

i found this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2011-0633
seems to me that default checks are turned on

i tried to set $ENV{'PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME'} = 0; in index.pl but didnt work out

where do you mean use verify_hostname = 1 (LWP::UserAgent)

 

[coolcat1975]

i guess while installing vmware sdk cpan also installed a new version(6.05) of perl LWP::UserAgent in /usr/local/share.

I simply moved it away

no more errors in gui but fencing stopped working

i going into that now

 

[dietmar]

The correct fix would be (to make it work with newer versions of libwww-perl):

https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-mana...;hpb=45f0ae721e4b7332b01ded5782dc2307baa3389a

 

[coolcat1975]

So i think we can mark this one as solved


I had a typo in cluster.conf

i applied your fix and copied the directory back

Everything seems to work now

Thanx a lot
