Issue/Introduction:

We are trying to configure the cluster probe to monitor a Linux Pacemaker Cluster and get an error during the installation. During step 1 of the Probe Installation Wizard we select " Linux Pacemaker Cluster" and click Next. On the next screen the "Cluster Name" field is empty. And we also can't type any text in there, so the install fails.

Cause:

The cluster probe requires the Corosync Cluster Engine to function with a Linux Pacemaker Cluster.

Environment:

cluster probe 3.50
Linux Pacemaker Cluster NOT USING Corosync Cluster Engine

Resolution:

Problem: Cluster probe cannot be configured on a Linux Pacemaker Cluster This is a Known Issue

Reason: Currently there is no support or alternative if the Linux Pacemaker Cluster is a non-Corosync cluster. The cluster probe requires corosync in order to be configured.

The problem could be avoided by using the Corosync Cluster Engine.

Additional Information:

Work Around: Use the Corosync Cluster Engine with the Linux Pacemaker Cluster.
