Sudden reboot of multiple nodes while adding a new node

I'm trying to figure out what happened in one of the "existing" nodes......

I can clearly see the node changed the corosync conf to accomodate the new node here:

And the 8 node actually got added to the cluster at 19:02:05

Code: 
Oct 16 19:02:05 pve42-cluster01 corosync[3579]:   [QUORUM] Sync members[8]: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Oct 16 19:02:05 pve42-cluster01 corosync[3579]:   [TOTEM ] A new membership (1.102) was formed. Members joined: 8

Then at this point there are several cpg_send_message that are failing (probably due to the STP loop caused by the joining node

And here now the problem with HA, again probably caused by the fact that the exising node 1 was not able to communicate with existing node 2 anymore

Code:

And now something quite strange. The existing node lost link to the network.
Please bear in mind that the ports on the network are configured as edge ports....
Code: 
Oct 16 19:03:09 pve42-cluster01 corosync[3579]:   [KNET  ] link: host: 1 link: 0 is down

At this point all the logs stop and i cannot find anything else that would indicate a reboot. I'd expect that if any process triggers a reboot i would find some message in syslog.
How is possible that this node started a reboot without leaving any trace in the logs?

And here the reboot again....

I appreciate that something happened, and i appreciate the need of avoiding producing unnecessary logs.
But I also believe if any element of Proxmox decides to trigger a reboot there should be at least a record in syslog, with an explanation to help understanding what happened.

To be 100% honest, if i had to read the logs by myself without your help i would suspect a power failure (and I'm 100% sure this is not the case)

well, at that point the first two heartbeat ping/pongs went through, so the network part of corosync says: this host is reachable over these two links here. the issue is that the expected MTU at this point is >9000 (based on the other links to the other nodes), and your broken network config means that to discover that these new links actually only support MTU 1500 will take a long time (since it seems like it basically blackholed packets over that size).

no, CPG is not functional because corosync cannot finish synchronizing the nodes (the first node has a retransmit list where it logs that it tries to send the sync messages but fails - because the last, newly joined node never acks them because those messages end up in nirvana).

And here now the problem with HA, again probably caused by the fact that the exising node 1 was not able to communicate with existing node 2 anymore
Click to expand...

no, the issue with HA is that CPG is not functional, thus the HA services cannot write their "we are still alive and well" timestamp.

yes, because the watchdog is only pulled up again if HA services write their timestamps.

And now something quite strange. The existing node lost link to the network.
Please bear in mind that the ports on the network are configured as edge ports....
Click to expand...

no, what happens is that the first node fenced itself and the other nodes notice that (rinse repeat for the second and third nodes)

At this point all the logs stop and i cannot find anything else that would indicate a reboot. I'd expect that if any process triggers a reboot i would find some message in syslog.
How is possible that this node started a reboot without leaving any trace in the logs?
Click to expand...

it fenced itself and probably didn't write out anything. usually the other nodes would, but their HA services also become unoperational at the same time.

I appreciate that something happened, and i appreciate the need of avoiding producing unnecessary logs.
But I also believe if any element of Proxmox decides to trigger a reboot there should be at least a record in syslog, with an explanation to help understanding what happened.

To be 100% honest, if i had to read the logs by myself without your help i would suspect a power failure (and I'm 100% sure this is not the case)
Click to expand...

the way I see it there are basically two solutions (until upstream and we have decided whether and how this is fixable in corosync/knet):
- fix the network situation (either MTU 9000 all around, or 1500 all around)
- or force corosync to use MTU 1500 (via corosync.conf / netmtu) despite of what the network says/seems capable of

disarming HA would obviously still be prudent to avoid further fencing events.
 
I can easily change the MTU, or even installing a 10G card identical to the ones already installed in the other servers, so we can be sure there is no MTU mismatch.

But my main question remains..... Is it normal that whatever triggered the reboot of the machines didn't leave any evident trace on their syslog?

I believe an event and condition like this worths to be logged, more than anything else
 
normally the HA services would log something - in this case /etc/pve just completely blocked, which likely also blocked them, so they didn't log anything. since that affected the whole cluster, the other nodes also didn't log anything. the watchdog expiring is entirely automatic and is logged, but it's basically the last thing that happens before the node is killed so that message might not make it to disk anymore.
