Hi guys, I have a rather strange problem with my current proxmox configuration.
The status of 2 out of 3 nodes always goes to unknown, about 3 minutes after restarting a node. In these 3 minutes the status is online. The node I restarted is working fine.
Does anyone know what I have done wrong? I would be very grateful if I could finally solve the problem.
General Information:
- 3 nodes in a cluster (Don't let the names confuse you — node3 is called prox09)
- ceph cluster (storage is a SAN which is connected via multipath)
What I gathered so far:
I tried to run
The warning "lvm[977]: WARNING: lvmlockd process is not running." is pretty interesting to me, but I can see lvmlockd starting a few seconds after that message. (see below to the lvm status on node1)
I found this message on node1 when node3 booted up the first time.
May 20 07:38:51 prox01 pvestatd[2136]: status update time (65131.801 seconds)
In this example I rebooted node3.
on node3:
You can find the log file of node3 in the attachments.
Node1:
Notice: journal has been rotated since unit was started, output may be incomplete.[/CODE]
If you require further information, I will be happy to provide you with more.

I tried to run
time pvesm status on every node, but I only get a response on the server with the lowest uptime. On the other two, the command does not execute. Same with vgs command.
