Hi Everyone,
I have installed three node Red Hat cluster and having issues in configuring Guest fencing on a RHEL KVM host.
OS:
---
[root@server2 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago)
Setup
-----
4 guests
server1
server2
server3
server4
server{1,2,3} are part of cluster.
server4 is storage target and luci is installed on this.
Packages for guest fencings are installed on Host
-------
$ yum list fence*
Plugin "product-id" can't be imported
Plugin "subscription-manager" can't be imported
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin
*Note* Red Hat Network repositories are not listed below. You must run this command as root to access RHN repositories.
Installed Packages
fence-virt.x86_64 0.2.3-9.el6 @/fence-virt-0.2.3-9.el6.x86_64
fence-virtd.x86_64 0.2.3-5.1.el6_2 @rhel-x86_64-client-6
fence-virtd-libvirt.x86_64 0.2.3-5.1.el6_2 @rhel-x86_64-client-6
fence-virtd-multicast.x86_64 0.2.3-5.1.el6_2 @rhel-x86_64-client-6
[root@slm Downloads]$
Key file
------
was created with #dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/cluster/fence_xvm.key bs=4096 count=1
copied to all guest server{1,2,3}:/etc/cluster/
Fence config file on host
-------------------------
# cat /etc/fence_virt.conf
backends {
libvirt {
uri = "qemu:///system";
}
}
listeners {
multicast {
interface = "virbr0";
port = "1229";
family = "ipv4";
address = "225.0.0.12";
key_file = "/etc/cluster/fence_xvm.key";
}
}
fence_virtd {
module_path = "/usr/lib64/fence-virt";
backend = "libvirt";
listener = "multicast";
}
service fence_virtd is working.
# fence_xvm -o list
Failed to add multicast membership to transmit socket 225.0.0.12: No such device
server1 62d023e4-48d2-f3ed-6e5a-142238406c0a on
server2 e83fdd63-16af-9476-fdf8-aedefb7c606d on
server3 ca25dfc5-63f9-c40a-a5ab-e86fdef22e41 on
server4 2c33cc2e-3adf-98c5-8502-a691775242cd on
On host, If I use fence the following command server3 reboots fine
# fence_xvm -o reboot -H server3 -t 5 -ddddddd
On client side:
--------------
I followed the steps
Once the host configuration is completed fencing must be set up on the guest cluster and this can be done from the web interface.
Select your cluster, go to the tab Fence Devices, click to Add and select Fence virt (Multicast Mode) as instance type, choose a name (fencekvm) and click to Submit.
Now go back to the cluster main page and click on the first node, look for the Fence Devices section and click on Add Fence Method. Choose the method name (fencekvm) and then click to Add Fence Instance and choose the fence instance previously created.
cluster.conf from one of the guest

[root@server1 rhel]#
I have created resources and failover domain which you can see in the config but so for haven't called them in service group.
/etc/hosts file is same for all servers
[root@server2 ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain
10.10.72.110 server1.public.example.com server1
192.168.122.110 server1.private.example.com server1
10.10.72.120 server2.public.example.com server2
192.168.122.120 server2.private.example.com server2
10.10.72.130 server3.public.example.com server3
192.168.122.130 server3.private.example.com server3
10.10.72.140 server4.public.example.com server4
192.168.122.140 server4.private.example.com server4
My problem is when I test fencing from guest to fence the other node it doesnt work.
[root@server2 ~]# fence_node server3.private.example.com -vv
fence server3.private.example.com dev 0.0 agent fence_xvm result: error from agent
agent args: domain=server3 nodename=server3.private.example.com agent=fence_xvm
fence server3.private.example.com failed
in /var/log/messages
Oct 30 09:48:09 server2 fence_node[5509]: fence server3.private.example.com failed
Can any body help to resolve this issue? Let me know if anyone need more output.
Many thanks in advacne.
Sam
