So the source of the issue has been sorted out, there was some uncoordinated
effort that ended up changing the LACP settings in the switches for all the
hosts, what caused a global network outage (all the hosts were affected) and
that in turn caused the clustering to freeze as none of the nodes was able to
contact the network both went down.

Then, once the network came up, the master of the cluster tried to remount the
drdb storage but was unable to due to some process keeping it busy, and did not
fully start up.

That is a scenario that we did not test (we tested one node failure, not both)
so will have to investigate that failure case and find a solution for the
clustering.

We are also talking with the hosting to properly sync with us on that type of
interventions so this will not happen again.


Thanks for your patience
