Hi all,

Yesterday we had a strange fence happen in a PVE 6.2 cluster.

Cluster has 3 nodes (proxmox1, proxmox2, proxmox3) and has been
operating normally for a year. Last update was on January 21st 2021.
Storage is Ceph and nodes are connected to the same network switch
with active-pasive bonds.

proxmox1 was fenced and automatically rebooted, then everything
recovered. HA restarted VMs in other nodes too.

proxmox1 syslog: (no network link issues reported at device level)
I have seen this occasionally and every time the cause was high network
load/network congestion which caused token timeout. The default token
timeout in corosync IMHO is very optimistically configured to 1000 ms
so I have changed this setting to 5000 ms and after I have done this I
have never seen fencing happening caused by network load/network
congestion again. You could try this and see if that helps you.

PS. my cluster communication is on a dedicated gb bonded vlan.
Thanks for the info. In this case network is 10Gbit (I see I didn't include this info) but only for proxmox nodes:

- We have 2 Dell N1124T 24x1Gbit 4xSFP+ switches
- Both switches are interconnected with a SFP+ DAC
- Active-passive Bonds in each proxmox node go one SFP+ interface on each switch. Primary interfaces are configured to be on the same switch.
- Connectivity to the LAN is done with 1 Gbit link
- Proxmox 2x10G Bond is used for VM networking and Ceph public/private networks.

I wouldn't expect high network load/congestion because it's on an internal LAN, with 1Gbit clients. No Ceph issues/backfilling were ocurring during the fence.

Network cards are Broadcom.

Thanks
