Clearing Errors from the CLI
If a service has errored enough times for the cluster to be unable to start it on either node, you'll need to manually clear the errors.

Because Asterisk was discovered 'not running', on both nodes, the Cluster has decided that it's impossible to start and has marked it as unusable on both modes. If this was, for example, a hardware error that was causing the problem that has now been resolved, you can clear the errors with the following command:
crm_resource --resource asterisk_service -C --node freepbx-a
crm_resource --resource asterisk_service -C --node freepbx-b |
Note that the resource used is whatever is specified before the _monitor in the error line. It could be that something appeared on your network with the same IP address as your floating IP, which caused it to fail. In that case you would have the failed actions being 'asterisk_ip_monitor_...' and you would need to clear the errors on asterisk_ip
Setting a node online or unstandby
If you end up in the situation where the only reachable node is in standby, you'll need to manually bring it out of standby via the command line
pcs cluster unstandby freepbx-b |
Note that it's possible that the machine may have a buggy pcs on there (due to a RedHat issue) and will error saying "Error: node 'freepbx-b' does not appear to exist in configuration" or similar.
You'll need to use the alternative command
