Description

QA: The interface implemented is: stonith_admin --cleanup --history=NODE where NODE can be a particular node name or '*' to clean all. a few questions regarding the expected behavior: * the command `stonith_admin --cleanup --history node-01` should remove all recorded fence events (pending, successful and failed) from all the cluster nodes -- ie. running `stonith_admin --history node-01` afterwards from any node should show nothing, right? (and ofc, the history should not reappear after being deleted, ie. be re-synced via the mechanism from bz#1555938) * since the history cleanup command is supposed to remove all fence events, including pending ones, does that not interfere with cluster state transitions as calculated by pengine? assuming the stonith history is just a copy of that information and deleting it has no effect on cluster behavior -- wouldn't that prevent users from seeing the pending fence actions after clearing stonith history? --cleanup isn't gonna delete any pending entries as there is no separate tables for user-query and cluster behaviour. The history is deleted on the current partition. So in theory it would be possible that the history persists on a node that wasn't part of the partition the stonith_admin-command was issued. And of course this could be synced back later on when the cluster isn't partitioned anymore. The syncing results in all nodes of the partition (at the time the stonith_admin-command is issued) getting a superposition of all history entries available within this partition. As there is a theoretical risk for the combination of these mechanisms leading to long history records the length of these records is trimmed to the most recent 500 events. # rpm -q pacemaker

# stonith_admin --help
...
-c, --cleanup Cleanup wherever appropriate.
...
-H, --history=value Show last successful fencing operation for named node
(or '*' for all nodes). Optional: --timeout, --cleanup
...
history show
============
# stonith_admin --history virt-012
virt-018 was able to reboot node virt-012 on behalf of stonith_admin.1566 from virt-018 at Thu Jun 13 15:28:01 2019
# stonith_admin --history virt-018
virt-022 was able to reboot node virt-018 on behalf of stonith_admin.12216 from virt-022 at Thu Jun 13 15:39:38 2019
history cleanup
===============
# stonith_admin --cleanup --history virt-012
cleaning up fencing-history for node virt-012
## History for virt-012 is now clear on all nodes and doesn't reappear after reboot
# stonith_admin --history virt-012
#
## History for virt-018 is still logged
# stonith_admin --history virt-018
virt-022 was able to reboot node virt-018 on behalf of stonith_admin.12216 from virt-022 at Thu Jun 13 15:39:38 2019
# stonith_admin --cleanup --history '*'
cleaning up fencing-history for node *
# stonith_admin --history '*'

Verified for pacemaker-1.1.20-5.el7
