Yes I had run that on both Hosts. The current config looks like that and is identical on both.

cat fence_virt.conf
fence_virtd {
        listener = "multicast";
        backend = "libvirt";
        module_path = "/usr/lib64/fence-virt";
}

listeners {
        multicast {
                key_file = "/etc/cluster/fence_xvm.key";
                address = "225.0.0.12";
                interface = "bond0";
                family = "ipv4";
                port = "1229";
        }

}

backends {
        libvirt {
                uri = "qemu:///system";
        }

}


The situation is still that no matter on what host I issue the "fence_xvm -a 225.0.0.12 -o list" command, both guest systems receive the traffic. The local guest, but also the guest on the other host. I reckon that means the traffic is not filtered by any network device, like switches or firewalls. Since the guest on the other host receives the packages, the traffic must reach te physical server and networkdevice and is then routed to the VM on that host.
But still, the traffic is not shown on the host itself.

Further the local firewalls on both hosts are set to let each and every traffic pass. Accept to any and everything. Well at least as far as I can see.

On each physical server the networkcards are bonded to achieve failure safety (bond0). The guest are connected over a bridge(br0) but apparently our virtualization softrware creates an own device named after the guest (kvm101.0). There is no direct connection between the servers, but as I said earlier, the multicast traffic does reach the VMs so I assume there is no problem with that.

I have send an query to our Data center Techs who are analyzing this and were already on it analyzing if multicast Traffic is somewhere blocked or hindered. So far the answer is, "multicast ist explictly allowed in the local network and no packets are filtered or dropped". I am still waiting for a final report though.

In the meantime I have switched IGMPv3 to IGMPv2 on every involved server, hosts and guests via the mentioned sysctl. The switching itself was successful, according to "cat /proc/net/igmp" but sadly did not better the behavior. It actually led to that no VM received the multicast traffic anymore too.

Hello,

Well, theory still holds I would say.

I guess that the multicast-traffic from the other host
or the guestsdoesn't get to the daemon on the host.
Can't you just simply check if there are any firewall
rules configuredon the host kernel?

I hope I did understand you corretcly and you are referring to iptables?
I didn't say iptables because it might have been
nftables - but yesthat is what I was referring to.
Guess to understand the config the output is
lacking verbositybut it makes me believe that
the whole setup doesn't lookas I would have
expected (bridges on each host where theguest
has a connection to and where ethernet interfaces
that connect the 2 hosts are part of as well -
everythingconnected via layer 2 basically).
Here is the output of the current rules. Besides the IP of the guest
the output is identical on both hosts:

# iptables -S
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT

# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
SOLUSVM_TRAFFIC_IN  all  --  anywhere             anywhere
SOLUSVM_TRAFFIC_OUT  all  --  anywhere             anywhere

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain SOLUSVM_TRAFFIC_IN (1 references)
target     prot opt source               destination
            all  --  anywhere             192.168.1.14

Chain SOLUSVM_TRAFFIC_OUT (1 references)
target     prot opt source               destination
            all  --  192.168.1.14         anywhere
