HPE has discovered an issue related to the SCSI fencing agent used in HPE Hypervisor Clusters (i.e., Hardware Virtual Machine (HVM) clusters) with Global Filesystem 2 (GFS2) as the shared storage backend. This affects systems in which the clusters were created using HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software (HPE VME) VME Manager version 8.0.11 or 8.0.12.When an HVM host in the cluster fails, all other nodes lose access to the Global Filesystem 2 (GFS2) datastore and running Virtual Machines are turned off to protect against data corruption.
Any system in which the clusters were created using HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software (HPE VME) VME Manager version 8.0.11 or 8.0.12.
To recover from this issue once it has occurred, reboot the cluster to allow the Virtual Machines to be powered on.This issue is resolved by running the following command on all HVM hosts in the cluster:sudo sed -i 's/!= "lost"/!= "xlost"/g' /usr/sbin/fence_scsi_hpevmThe permanent fix will be made available with Hotfix 8.0.12-2 targeted for release on January 9, 2026.
