How do I configure the consensus timeout in a Red Hat High Availability cluster?
Issue
- My cluster is taking longer than the totem token timeout to recognize and recover from a node failure.
- Why does it takes longer than the token timeout to recognize node failure after an
"A processor failed, forming new configuration"
message? - How can I change the consensus timeout values?
