The STONITH plugin is a custom plugin I wrote for the Tripp-Lite PDUMH20ATNET that I'm using as the STONITH device: 
http://www.tripplite.com/shared/product-pages/en/PDUMH20ATNET.pdf 


As you can see, I left the DRBD service to be started by the operating system (as an lsb script at boot time) however Pacemaker controls actually bringing up/taking down the individual DRBD devices. The behavior I observe is as follows: I issue "crm resource migrate p_vm" on node1 and failover successfully to node2. During this time, node2 fences node1's DRBD devices (using dopd) and marks them as Outdated. Meanwhile node2's DRBD devices are UpToDate. I then shutdown both nodes and then bring them back up. They reconnect to the cluster (with quorum), and node1's DRBD devices are still Outdated as expected and node2's DRBD devices are still UpToDate, as expected. At this point, DRBD starts on both nodes, however node2 will not set DRBD as master: 

Node quorumnode (c4bf25d7-a6b7-4863-984d-aafd937c0da4): OFFLINE (standby) 
Online: [ node2 node1 ] 


Master/Slave Set: ms_drbd_vmstore [p_drbd_vmstore] 
Slaves: [ node1 node2 ] 
Master/Slave Set: ms_drbd_mount1 [p_drbd_mount1] 
Slaves: [ node1 node 2 ] 
Master/Slave Set: ms_drbd_mount2 [p_drbd_mount2] 
Slaves: [ node1 node2 ] 


I am having trouble sorting through the logging information because there is so much of it in /var/log/daemon.log, but I can't find an error message printed about why it will not promote node2. At this point the DRBD devices are as follows: 
node2: cstate = WFConnection dstate=UpToDate 
node1: cstate = StandAlone dstate=Outdated 


I don't see any reason why node2 can't become DRBD master, or am I missing something? If I do "drbdadm connect all" on node1, then the cstate on both nodes changes to "Connected" and node2 immediately promotes the DRBD resources to master. Any ideas on why I'm observing this incorrect behavior? 


Any tips on how I can better filter through the pacemaker/heartbeat logs or how to get additional useful debug information? 


Thanks, 


Andrew

not enough information ... please share at least your complete cluster 
configuration
