PCS resource ipaddr2 failed to start with exitreason='[findif] failed'


I need to set up a VIP with pcs in a 2 CentOS 7 node cluster. The resoruce gets defined like that:

pcs resource create MyVip ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2 ip=10.215.208.164/24  cidr_netmask=24 nic=ens32 op monitor interval=3s

This same config is working well in all other deployments. I just can't understand what the error means:

Failed Actions:
* MyVip_start_0 on node02 'not configured' (6): call=6, status=complete, exitreason='[findif] failed',
    last-rc-change='Fri Dec 28 20:47:26 2018', queued=0ms, exec=58ms

This is the interface thats seems not found:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

Solution

  • If you are getting

    • vip_start_0 on serv1.XXX.com 'unknown error' (1): call=6, status=complete, exitreason='[findif] failed', last-rc-change='Sat Sep 19 16:16:19 2020', queued=1ms, exec=159ms

    Check if you have NIC setup for the resource:

    pcs config 
    

    And check in response whether NIC is defined:

    Cluster Name: VIP
            Corosync Nodes:
             serv1.centos7g.com serv2.XXX.com
            Pacemaker Nodes:
             serv1.centos7g.com serv2.XXX.com
        
        Resources:
         Resource: vip (class=ocf provider=heartbeat type=IPaddr2)
          Attributes: cidr_netmask=24 ip=192.168.119.200 nic=YOUR_NIC_HERE
    

    You can update nic for an existing resource. Worked for me (CentOS 7.2)

        pcs resource update RESOURCE_NAME nic=NIC_NAME
        pcs resource cleanup
        # check if IP address was created on your NIC interface
        ip a s  
        pcs status
