So im testing a two node HA cluster (in 2 virtual machines).
I followed the wiki to make the cluster and then this link http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Two-Node_High_Availability_Cluster, to make ha.
everything goes really well.
I use an already installed test machine, sharing a 50 gb disk via iscsi.
I login to the drive with "iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.BLAHBLAH -p IPOFiSCSISERVER -l", and do everything else until i see something like this :

Code:

 /dev/block/8:33                                         0 Online, Quorum Disk

The problem is that after i reboot a get an error at "Starting qdiskd ... FAILED", and i see that the disk is not connected anymore.
If i reconnect with the above mentioned command and do this again :

Code:
 /etc/init.d/rgmanager stop  # This will restart any VMs that are HA enabled onto the other node.
  /etc/init.d/cman reload     # This will activate the qdisk

i see the disk back online.
So what am i missing ?
Should i do something so that the iscsi disk is automaticly connected ?

This is my cluster config:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?><cluster config_version="6" name="proxmoxCluster">
  <cman expected_votes="3" keyfile="/var/lib/pve-cluster/corosync.authkey"/>
  <quorumd allow_kill="0" interval="3" label="proxmox1_qdisk" tko="10">
    <heuristic interval="3" program="ping $GATEWAY -c1 -w1" score="1" tko="4"/>
    <heuristic interval="3" program="ip addr | grep eth0 | grep -q UP" score="2" tko="3"/>
  </quorumd>
  <totem token="54000"/>

        </method>
      </fence>
    </clusternode>
    <clusternode name="proxmoxNode2" nodeid="2" votes="1">

        <method name="1">

        </method>
      </fence>
    </clusternode>
  </clusternodes>
  <fencedevices>
    <fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" ipaddr="xx.xx.xx.xx" login="xxcc" name="fenceNodeA" passwd="asdasd"/>
    <fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" ipaddr="xx.xx.xx.xx" login="xxcc" name="fenceNodeB" passwd="asdasd"/>
  </fencedevices>
  <rm>
    <pvevm autostart="1" vmid="100"/>
  </rm>
</cluster>
 
I did to that.
Its specified in the wiki article that it should be enabled, and i have that set.
Im thinking that i should add something somewhere so that it logs in the iscsi drive at boot (like fstab maybe?)
