[ClusterLabs] cluster unable to start a resource which otherwise starts

[Windl, Ulrich]

Hi!

Another thing is:
monitor: KEA-DHCP4-monitor-interval-60s
      interval=60s timeout=100s

IMHO having an interval shorter than the timeout makes little sense.

Kind regards,
Ulrich Windl

Hi,

when the systemctl way works (I assume as root) and otherwise not than there a commonly two problems:

  1.  Environment
  2.  User Rights
  3.  SELinux (if enabled)

I would start to investigate with b)

Best regards
Andreas

Betreff: [ClusterLabs] cluster unable to start a resource which otherwise starts

Hi guys.

I have a simple resource

-> $ pcs resource config KEA-DHCP4
Resource: KEA-DHCP4 (class=systemd type=kea-dhcp4.service)
  Meta Attributes: KEA-DHCP4-meta_attributes
    failure-timeout=25s
  Operations:
    monitor: KEA-DHCP4-monitor-interval-60s
      interval=60s timeout=100s
    start: KEA-DHCP4-start-interval-0s
      interval=0s timeout=100s
    stop: KEA-DHCP4-stop-interval-0s
      interval=0s timeout=100s

which when cluster attempts to star it fails.
I have not tried all the types of resources yet but it seems there might be a pattern.
When the resource is configured to connect to mysql then there is:

 INIT_FAIL failed to initialize Kea server: configuration error using file '/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf': Unable to open database: Can't connect to server on '127.0.0.1' (115)

I've only migrated to Centos 10, this still works on Centos 9 with pacemaker-libs-2.1.10-2.el9
c10 runs with pacemaker-libs-3.0.1-5.el10
kea-dhcp4.service starts with _systemctl_ - no issue.

Do you know what might be the issue?

thanks, L.
