[Pacemaker] strange drbd migration fail

[Matthew O'Connor]

I have run into a strange problem with a DRBD resource migrating master
role from one node to the other.  3-node cluster, Pacemaker v1.1.9,
Corosync v1.4.5, DRBD 8.3.11.  Both Pacemaker and Corosync are built
from source.  Two of the nodes are running DRBD resources between them
in simple single-master relationships. 

The nodes are called c3, c4, and c5; c5 is location-constrained to never
receive DRBD resource clones.  I have a drbd resource called
ms_drbd-p_dummy1, and a dummy resource called p_dummy1.  The resource is
colocated with the drbd master, and ordered such that master is promoted
before the resource is started.  The config generally follows accepted
online examples (see below).

When c3 is master, I attempt to migrate to c4 by issuing "resource
migrate p_dummy1".  I see a fleeting FAILED notice in crm_mon for c3,
then the cluster then starts into this cycle where it keeps bringing the
relevant DRBD resource up and down very quickly.  Syslog shows the
connection being setup and torn-down over and over.  The up-down cycle
is broken by issuing "resource unmigrate p_dummy1" after which c4
becomes DRBD master and c3 its slave.  That is to say, the migration
works but only after the unmigrate is issued.  Migrating from c4 to c3
works every time.

Putting either node into standby works fine, resources migrate without
issue in that case.  I have fencing enabled and tested, but it's not
being called into action here.  I also tried re-creating my DRBD
resource and resyncing, with no change to the results.  I can manually
shift either node to primary using drbdadm while the resource is
unmanaged by Pacemaker.  I have also duplicated this behavior with one
of my other DRBD resources and a second dummy resource.  Finally, I
confirmed this between a new drbd and dummy resource set between c4 and
c5 (where c4->c5 transition fails until unmigrate is issued, but c5->c4
migrate works fine).

An attempt to manually demote ms_drbd-aoe1 resulted in Pacemaker
reporting a failure, even though /proc/drbd subsequently showed both
nodes in Secondary.

This syslog fragment shows the attempt, failure, unmigrate and the
eventual success of migration: http://pastebin.com/tBtydG1f

Key configuration elements:

primitive p_drbd-aoe1 ocf:linbit:drbd \
        params drbd_resource="aoe1" \
        op start interval="0" timeout="5m" \
        op promote interval="0" timeout="90s" \
        op demote interval="0" timeout="90s" \
        op stop interval="0" timeout="3m" \
        op monitor interval="20" role="Slave" timeout="20" \
        op monitor interval="10" role="Master" timeout="20"

primitive p_dummy1 ocf:heartbeat:Dummy

ms ms_drbd-aoe1 p_drbd-aoe1 \
        meta master-max="1" notify="true" clone-max="2"
master-node-max="1" clone-node-max="1" target-role="Started"
is-managed="true"

colocation colo_dummy inf: p_dummy1 ms_drbd-aoe1:Master
order o_dummy inf: ms_drbd-aoe1:promote p_dummy1:start

Any ideas?

Thanks!!
