Re: [ClusterLabs] Antw: [EXT] Cannot add a node with pcs
Hi Ulrich, Thank you. I am perfectly aware that operating without stonith is not a good idea :). I am sure I will add it. But first I need to understand the current state. I am afraid of introducing something new before I fix the current problem.

Re: [ClusterLabs] Cannot add a node with pcs
Hi Tomas, Thank you very much for the idea. I have played with stonith_admin --unfence and --confirm. Whenever I try, pcs status show my actions under Failed Fencing Actions. I see this in the log file: error: Unfencing of n2 by failed: No such device No surprise here, since I have not got any devices registered. If fencing of n2 was a cause, I would expect pcs status to show it as offline or unhealthy, but show it. I have got: * 2 nodes configured Also I would expect node remove + node clear + node add to make n2 a brand new node. Here are parts of the log when I remove n2 from the cluster No peers with id=0 and/or uname=n2 to purge from the membership cache Removing all n2 attributes for peer n3 Removing all n2 attributes for peer n1 Instructing peers to remove references to node n2/0 Completed cib_delete operation for section status: OK There is nothing in the log file when I add it. If fencing is the cause, where should I look for what the cluster tries to do? Have you got any other suggestions what to check? Best regards, Piotr On 12.07.2022 12:50, Tomas Jelinek wrote: Hi Piotr, Based on 'pcs cluster node add n2' and 'pcs config' outputs, pcs added the node to your cluster successfully, that is corosync config has been modified, distributed and loaded. It looks like the problem is with pacemaker. This is a wild guess, but maybe pacemaker wants to fence n2, which is not possible, as you disabled stonith. In the meantime, n1 and n3 do not allow n2 to join, until it's confirmed fenced. Try looking into / posting 'pcs status --full' and pacemaker log. With stonith disabled, you have a working cluster (seemingly). Until you don't, due to an event which requires working stonith for the cluster to recover.
