Question

stopping pacemaker doesn't move resources to other node

Hi Team,

First time user, please forgive my lack of knowledge about the service.

I installed Pacemaker corosync, but I am facing issues get getting the failover to work properly, for the failover testing purpose I stopped the service on the primary node using the command “#pcs cluster stop ip-172-31-0-11-primary” to test whether the resource will move to the other node (ip-172-31-0-10-backup), I noticed that the resource group members are in the stop state in the backup as shown below

Resource Group: networking-group privip (ocf::heartbeat:awsvip): Stopped vip (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2): Stopped elastic (ocf::heartbeat:awseip): Stopped

When I start the primary node again, the resource group is starting without issues on both nodes.

Is there any reason why the failover is not working the way it should be?

Found the issue.

Bug issue in 0.9.167, upgraded to 0.9.169 and it is now fully functional.

For those who are using Amazon Linux 2 AMI, you will be installing 0.9.167 just bear that in mind and it won’t work especially with fencing on.

upgrade to the most recent version- https://github.com/ClusterLabs/pacemaker/releases
