Managing HP Serviceguard for Linux, Tenth Edition, September 2012

The reason may be that you have not updated the authorization file. Verify that the node
is included in the file, and try using /usr/lbin/qs -update to re-read the quorum
server authorization file.
Timeout Problems
The following kinds of message in a Serviceguard node’s syslog file may indicate
timeout problems:
Unable to set client version at quorum server 192.6.7.2: reply
timed out
Probe of quorum server 192.6.7.2 timed out
These messages could be an indication of an intermittent network problem; or the default
quorum server timeout may not be sufficient. You can set the QS_TIMEOUT_EXTENSION
to increase the timeout, or you can increase the MEMBER_TIMEOUT value. See “Cluster
Configuration Parameters ” (page 103)for more information about these parameters.
A message such as the following in a Serviceguard node’s syslog file indicates that
the node did not receive a reply to its lock request on time. This could be because of
delay in communication between the node and the Quorum Server or between the
Quorum Server and other nodes in the cluster:
Attempt to get lock /sg/cluser1 unsuccessful. Reason:
request_timedout
Messages
The coordinator node in Serviceguard sometimes sends a request to the quorum server
to set the lock state. (This is different from a request to obtain the lock in tie-breaking.) If
the quorum server’s connection to one of the cluster nodes has not completed, the request
to set may fail with a two-line message like the following in the quorum server’s log file:
Oct 008 16:10:05:0: There is no connection to the applicant
2 for lock /sg/lockTest1
Oct 08 16:10:05:0:Request for lock /sg/lockTest1 from
applicant 1 failed: not connected to all applicants.
This condition can be ignored. The request will be retried a few seconds later and will
succeed. The following message is logged:
Oct 008 16:10:06:0: Request for lock /sg/lockTest1
succeeded. New lock owners: 1,2.
Lock LUN Messages
If the lock LUN device fails, the following message will be entered in the syslog file:
Oct 008 16:10:05:0: WARNING: Cluster lock lun /dev/sdc1 has failed.
