Node is unable to join cluster while another node is being ejected


Node is unable to join cluster while another node is being ejected
Prev	Troubleshooting I/O fencing	Next

A cluster that is currently fencing out (ejecting) a node from the cluster prevents a new node from joining the cluster until the fencing operation is completed. The following are example messages that appear on the console for the new node:

...VxFEN ERROR V-11-1-25 ... Unable to join running cluster 
since cluster is currently fencing 
a node out of the cluster.

If you see these messages when the new node is booting, the vxfen startup script on the node makes up to five attempts to join the cluster.

To manually join the node to the cluster when I/O fencing attempts fail

If the vxfen script fails in the attempts to allow the node to join the cluster, restart vxfen driver with the command:
```
# /etc/init.d/vxfen.rc stop
# /etc/init.d/vxfen.rc start
```
If the command fails, restart the new node.
