[PVE-User] Expected fencing behavior on a bifurcated 4-node HA cluster

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

Maybe this is because node only reboot if an HA vm is present on the node ?


if you had HA vm on all 4 nodes, I think that all nodes should be reboot by watchdog. (as you lost quorum on 4 nodes)

Objet: [PVE-User] Expected fencing behavior on a bifurcated 4-node HA	cluster

What's supposed to happen if two nodes in a 4-node HA cluster go offline? 


I have a 4-node test cluster, two nodes are in one server room and the 
other two in another server room. I had HA inadvertently tested for me 
this morning due to an unexpected network issue and watchdog rebooted 
two of the nodes. 

I think this is the expected behavior, and certainly seems like what I 
want to happen. However, quorum is 3, not 2, so why didn't all 4 nodes 
reboot?

quorum OK 
master node3 (active, Tue May 2 09:35:24 2017) 
lrm node1 (idle, Tue May 2 09:35:27 2017) 
lrm node2 (active, Tue May 2 09:35:26 2017) 
lrm node3 (idle, Tue May 2 09:35:23 2017) 
lrm node3 (idle, Tue May 2 09:35:23 2017) 

Somehow proxmox was smart enough to keep two of the nodes online, but 
with a quorum of 3 neither group should have had quorum. How does it 
decide which group to keep online? 

Thanks
