Hi Shu,
first, for the manual fence to work ("confirm host have been rebooted") you
will need
another host in the cluster which will be used as a proxy and send the actual manual
fence command.
second, you are absolutely right, loss of network is a common scenario, and we should be
able
to recover, but lets try to understand why your host remain unresponsive after network
returned.
please ssh to the host and try the following:
- vdsClient -s 0 getVdsCaps (validity check making sure vdsm service is up and running
and communicate with its network socket from localhost)
[root@ovirt-node1 ~]#
vdsClient -s 0 getVdsCaps
Connection to 9.181.129.110:54321 refused
[root@ovirt-node1 ~]#
root@ovirt-node1 ~]# ps -ef |grep vdsm
root 1365 1 0 09:37 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/libvirtd
--listen # by vdsm
root 5534 4652 0 13:53 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto vdsm
[root@ovirt-node1 ~]# service vdsmd start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start vdsmd.service
root@ovirt-node1 ~]# ps -ef |grep vdsm
root 1365 1 0 09:37 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/libvirtd
--listen # by vdsm
root 5534 4652 0 13:53 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto vdsm
It seems that VDSM process was gone while libvirtd spawned by VDSM was
there. Then I tried to start the VDSM daemon, however it did nothing.
After checking the vdsm.log file, the latest message was five hours ago
and useless. Also, there was no useful message in libvirtd.log.
- please ping between host and engine
It works in both ways.
- please make sure there is no firewall on blocking tcp 54321 (on
both host and engine)
No firewall.
also, please provide vdsm.log (from the time network issues begun) and spm-lock.log (both
located on /var/log/vdsm/).
as for a mitigation, we can always manipulate db and set it correctly, but first, lets
try the above.
Also, there is no useful message in spm-lock.log. The latest message
was 24 hours ago.
