highstate not running

[geo dezix]

Hello I am running salt 2016.11.3 on CentOS 7.  I have a minion that reports highstate (salt-call state.highstate) without issues. There is a second minion (these are part of a cluster) that does not report highstate. There was a recent root password change on this lab network, the password was changed back when the problem was discovered but the problem persists.

test.ping from the salt-master works for first server, not second. There are two salt-masters. minions' /etc/salt/minion lists both.

Keys have been blown away and re-accepted. Tried reboots. Minion logs say this: "Error while bringing up minion for multi-master. Is master at x.y.z.a responding?"

Any thoughts on how to proceed? I saw one blog that said try blowing away  ..../salt-master/saltmaster/files/master.pub   which made no difference.

Many thanks.

Hi,

Haven't used multi master config so far, but as the logs said it looks like one of your master does not answer, can you ping it ? Real ping I mean, not the test.ping.

You can see both minion keys by list-all command on master right ?

What does the minion logs says upon a restart if the salt-minion service ?

I am willing to help but I am no salt expert, still I'll try to help you fixing this.

Cannot see minion keys for broken server, but can see for good one

Broken server cannot ping gateway, good one can

Minion logs on broken minion give ERROR Error for bringing up multimaster. Is multimaster w.x.y.z responding and is multimaster a.b.c.d responding? (The two masters)

Thanks for your help.
