Hello,

I’m facing problem with STONITH timeout configuration through IPMI. Even if i set paramaters stonith-timeout=60s, failure-timeout=60s on resource still STONITH reboot my node ignoring timeout. If I loose network connection to node for 1 sec always reboot of the node is done.  
How configure cluster to manage 1-5 sec network unavailable state?.

Best regards,  
Marcin Przerwa

Stonith timeout is just to delay the stonith , but you will never prevent STONITH this way.

You can adjust the “token” & “consensus” timeouts.

For details check : man 5 corosync.conf
