pacemaker node is UNCLEAN (offline)

  • 772

I am following the http://clusterlabs.org/doc/en-US/Pacemaker/1.1-pcs/html/Clusters_from_Scratch/_verify_corosync_installation.html document for setting up a 2 node cluster in AWS. The two nodes have pacemaker installed and FW rules are enabled. When I run the pcs status command on both the nodes, I get the message that the other node is UNCLEAN (offline).

The two nodes that I have setup are ha1p and ha2p.

OUTPUT ON ha1p

[root@ha1 log]# pcs status

Any help would be much appreciated.

  1. Yes, you need to make sure the hostname you are using in your cluster definition is NOT the hostname in the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts.

    So, my /etc/hosts looks like this:

    127.0.0.1   cluster-node1 domain.com localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

192.168.0.1     node1
192.168.0.2     node2

  2. This happen because your cluster doesn't have full stonith configuration, In unclean state mean the cluster doesn't know the state of the node.

  3. Maybe you can edit /etc/hosts file, and remove lines which contains 127.0.0.1 and ::1 (lines that mentions localhost). I have this exact problem and I tried using this method, and solved the problem.

  4. The error:

    Node ha2p: UNCLEAN (offline)

    Means that corosync could not contact the other corosync services running the other cluster nodes.

    How to fix:

    • check on which IP is listening and make sure that IP is on an external interface like eth0 and not on loopback interface: ss -tulnp|egrep ':5405.*corosync'
    • make sure the IP version is IPv4 or IPv6 as you expected. You can force IPv4 by adding ip_version: ipv6 to totem section in /etc/corosync/corosync.conf file.
    • check firewall rules
    • check other networking related issues. Make sure that IP of the nodes are reachable between themselves.
    • use getent ahosts $HOSTNAME to see how current host name is resolved.

  5. I got the same issue and the reason was a time mismatch between both the nodes. Post ntp/chrony sync, the issue got resolved.
