Description

Diagnose shutdown and recovery issues on TNF (Two Nodes with Fencing) clusters. Gathers live cluster state via SSH, analyzes it against a validated knowledge base of 7 bare metal test scenarios, and reports findings with severity classification. Read-only — never modifies cluster state.

Prerequisites

SSH access to a running TNF cluster via one of:

1. Hypervisor hop (dev-scripts): Set HYPERVISOR env var or have two-node-toolbox/ available for auto-detection
2. Direct SSH (bare metal): Set NODE_0 and NODE_1 env vars to node IPs

Optional: BMC_0, BMC_1, BMC_USER, BMC_PASS for Redfish power state. Optional: SSH_KEY for SSH private key path (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa).

The validate and recovery-guide modes do not require SSH access.

Modes

diagnose (default)

No argument or diagnose. Gathers live cluster state and analyzes it.

1. Run the diagnostic script:

   bash "${PLUGIN_DIR}/scripts/diagnose-cluster.sh"
   

   Set HYPERVISOR, or NODE_0/NODE_1, or rely on auto-detection from two-node-toolbox/deploy.

2. Read the knowledge base:

   Read ${PLUGIN_DIR}/references/cluster-knowledge-base.md
   

3. Parse each === Section === block from the script output.

4. Check for immediate blockers (see severity table in knowledge base).

5. Match the situation to a known scenario (test run cross-reference).

6. Estimate timeline from the recovery timelines table.

7. Report using the output format below.

validate

Argument starts with validate. Checks a proposed procedure.

1. Read the knowledge base.
2. Parse the procedure from $ARGUMENTS (everything after validate).
3. Check each step against the 7 failure modes.
4. Report BLOCKER/WARNING/INFO findings for each problematic step.

recovery-guide

Argument starts with recovery-guide. Returns the correct procedure.

Available scenarios: standby, full-shutdown, single-node, network-partition, power-outage, rolling-restart, after-recovery, connectivity, etcd-nospace, pending-csr, split-brain, stale-data, partition-fencing-failure.

1. Read the knowledge base.
2. Match the scenario to the correct procedure section.
3. Present the procedure with commands for the user to copy and run.
4. If no match, list available scenarios via AskUserQuestion.

Output Format

## TNF Cluster Diagnostic Report

### Cluster State Summary
| Component | Status |
|-----------|--------|
| Node 0    | (Online / standby / OFFLINE / NotReady) |
| Node 1    | (Online / standby / OFFLINE / NotReady) |
| Pacemaker | (Healthy / Degraded / Down) |
| etcd      | (2 voters / 1 voter + 1 learner / ...) |
| Fencing   | (Enabled / Disabled) |

### Findings
| # | Severity | Finding | Recommended Action |
|---|----------|---------|-------------------|

### Scenario Match
Closest match: (scenario from knowledge base)

### Expected Timeline
(from recovery timelines table)

Rules

1. Never execute recovery or shutdown commands. Only recommend.
2. Always read ${PLUGIN_DIR}/references/cluster-knowledge-base.md before making recommendations.
3. Report partial data if some diagnostic commands fail. Analyze what was gathered and note the gaps.
4. No cluster modification. This skill is read-only.

game

Argument starts with game. Interactive training mode. No SSH required.

Read ${SKILL_DIR}/game-mode.md for game content, then follow its instructions.
