[ClusterLabs] fence_vbox Unable to connect/login to fencing device

[ArekW]

Hi,

It seems that my the fence_vbox is running but there are errors in
logs every few minutes like:

Jul  6 12:51:12 nfsnode1 fence_vbox: Unable to connect/login to fencing device
Jul  6 12:51:13 nfsnode1 stonith-ng[7899]: warning: fence_vbox[30220]
stderr: [ Unable to connect/login to fencing device ]
Jul  6 12:51:13 nfsnode1 stonith-ng[7899]: warning: fence_vbox[30220]
stderr: [  ]
Jul  6 12:51:13 nfsnode1 stonith-ng[7899]: warning: fence_vbox[30220]
stderr: [  ]

Eventually after fome time the pcs status shows Failed Actions:

The fence was created with command:
pcs -f stonith_cfg stonith create vbox-fencing fence_vbox ip=10.0.2.2
ipaddr=10.0.2.2 login=AW23321 username=AW23321
identity_file=/root/.ssh/id_rsa host_os=windows
pcmk_host_check=static-list pcmk_host_list="centos1 centos2"
vboxmanage_path="/cygdrive/c/Program\
Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/VBoxManage" op monitor interval=5

where centos1 and centos2 are VBox machines names (not hostnames). I
used duplicated login/username parameters as it is indicated as
required in stonith description fence_vbox.

Then I updated the configuration and set:

pcs stonith update vbox-fencing  pcmk_host_list="nfsnode1 nfsnode2"
pcs stonith update vbox-fencing
pcmk_host_map="nfsnode1:centos1;nfsnode2:centos2"

where nfsnode1 and nfsnode2 are the hostnames

I'not sure which config is correct but both shows Failed Actions after
some time.

I've successfully tested the fence connection to the VBox host with:
fence_vbox --ip 10.0.2.2 --username=AW23321
--identity-file=/root/.ssh/id_rsa --plug=centos2 --host-os=windows
--action=status --vboxmanage-path="/cygdrive/c/Program\
Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/VBoxManage"

Why the above configuration work as standalone command and does not
work in pcs ?
