One of the node can not start the mariadb in Galera Cluster

Question

I have 3 nodes in my cluster, names: ha-node1, ha-node2, ha-node3 .

The ha-node2 can not start the mariadb.service now, before is normal:

I use the below commands to show logs:

[root@ha-node2 ~]# systemctl status mariadb.service
● mariadb.service - MariaDB database server
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

  Process: 59138 ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c systemctl unset-environment _WSREP_START_POSITION (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

EDIT-1

I use clustercheck to check the status of cluster in the ha-node2, I found the connection is close, and the galera cluster node is not synced:

[root@ha-node2 ~]# clustercheck 
HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable
Content-Type: text/plain
Connection: close
Content-Length: 36

Galera cluster node is not synced.

And in the ha-node1 and ha-node3 is connection is close, and galera cluster node is synced:

[root@ha-node1 ~]# clustercheck 
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain
Connection: close
Content-Length: 32

Galera cluster node is synced.

Answer 1

I personally see issue in message xinetd[1175]: EXIT: mysqlchk signal=13 . From the xinetd man pages it is

For services with type =
       INTERNAL, SIGTERM signal will be sent.  For  services  without  type  =
       INTERNAL, SIGKILL signall will be sent.

In your case it is SIGPIPE 13 Write on a pipe with no reader, Broken pipe (POSIX)

The most likely cause is: Jul 31 12:14:49 ha-node2 attrd[2281]: notice: Lost attribute writer ha-node3 You have to trace this one to find out what is happening between ha-node2 and ha-node3 (I recommend tcpdump for that) .

I would have to see more of your mysqlchk or the script that makes your HAproxy.

If nothing will help you can also try alternative HAClustering solution https://github.com/olafz/percona-clustercheck
