Description Miroslav Lisik 2021-12-16 10:59:33 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2032997 +++

Description of problem:
Having a fence_scsi configured with a disk that suddenly gets unavailable, pcs cannot remove it and add a new disk or just add a new running disk itself (using 'pcs stonith update-scsi-devices' add/remove syntax).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pcs-0.10.12-1.el8.

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

[root@virt-033 ~]# export DISK1=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-360014055b5a24c2c777487cb03a19c98
[root@virt-033 ~]# export DISK2=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-36001405c04d8aed56e04cd1a3b0aabe8
[root@virt-033 ~]# export DISK3=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-36001405d95ea40f8b2a4a3d86d866e20

1. Configure fence_scsi with sda shared disk
[root@virt-033 ~]# pcs stonith create scsi-fencing fence_scsi devices="$DISK1" pcmk_host_check="static-list" pcmk_host_list="virt-033 virt-034 virt-035" pcmk_reboot_action="off" meta provides="unfencing"

2. Make the disk unavailable
[root@virt-033 ~]# echo "offline" > /sys/block/sda/device/state

3. 
[root@virt-033 ~]# pcs stonith update-scsi-devices scsi-fencing remove $DISK1 add $DISK3
Error: virt-033: Unfencing failed, unable to check status of device '/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-360014055b5a24c2c777487cb03a19c98': 2021-12-15 12:10:35,797 ERROR: Cannot get registration keys

2021-12-15 12:10:35,798 ERROR: Please use '-h' for usage
Error: Errors have occurred, therefore pcs is unable to continue
[root@virt-033 ~]# echo $?

[root@virt-033 ~]# pcs stonith update-scsi-devices scsi-fencing add $DISK3
Error: virt-033: Unfencing failed, unable to check status of device '/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-360014055b5a24c2c777487cb03a19c98': 2021-12-15 12:11:06,424 ERROR: Cannot get registration keys

2021-12-15 12:11:06,425 ERROR: Please use '-h' for usage
Error: Errors have occurred, therefore pcs is unable to continue
[root@virt-033 ~]# echo $?
1


Expected results:
It should be possible to remove an unavailable disk or add a new available disk 

Additional info:
This bug is also present in 8.5 and was introduced by the fix to prevent unfencing of nodes without quorum (bz1991654)

There are 2 cases:

1) adding a new disk and removing the unavailable disk
This can be fixed.
There is a workaround: Update disk in 2 steps. First remove unavailable disks and then add a new disk.

2) add disk to a cluster with unavailable disks
This is ok to fail because it is not possible to check if the node was fenced.
