ERROR: pacemaker-controld:metadata: got no meta-data, does this RA exist?

[samuelfusato]

Hello,

TL;DR - SLES15-SP3, two-nodes cluster, same /etc/crm/crm.conf file on both nodes, when user invokes the "crm configure" shell, then type "property" the following error appears on the console:

crm(live/hostname) configure# property sudo: pacemaker-controld command not found
DEBUG: pacemaker-controld metadata exited with code 1
ERROR: pacemaker-controld:metadata: got no meta-data, does this RA exist?

The debug does not go too far, as per the above messages. The sudoers files are okay and user is logging into the system as root directly. The env variables are exactly the same on both nodes (the node 01 has this crm issue while the 02 does not).

Package version:

crmsh-4.3.1+20220505.cf4ab649-150200.5.80.1.noarch

Could you kindly help on this? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Cheers.

Hi @samuelfusato

I guess you've set core.user in crm.conf? see

crmsh/crmsh/utils.py

Line 353 in 733357e

if config.core.user:

In above line, run su -E -u <user> pacemaker-controld, got the above error
sudo: pacemaker-controld command not found

Dear @liangxin1300,

Thanks for your answer. This is the content of /etc/crm/crm.conf:

 [core]
debug = yes
[path]
crm_daemon_user = hacluster
ocf_root = /usr/lib/ocf

Could you please remove add_sudo in this line?

crmsh/crmsh/utils.py

Line 819 in 733357e

rc, s = get_stdout(add_sudo(cmd), stderr_on=stderr_on, shell=shell)

Like rc, s = get_stdout(cmd, stderr_on=stderr_on, shell=shell)

If it works, please print config.core.user in this function to see what value it is

Hi @liangxin1300,

Your suggestion fixed the issue. However, I could not obtain the print from my customer (I tried once but I preferred not to push them on this) and I hope you understand.

Thank you so much for your kind assistance.

Yeah, that is only a workaround, not fix the root cause yet
