cman + gfs_controld join connect error: error mounting lockproto lock_dlm

I have a 50TB SAN device, which intu has two partitions. One of the partition is a gfs2 configured to be shared between two nodes. However, I'm having trouble mounting this partition on one node, but not on the other one.

When I try to mount it I get the follwing error,

" gfs_controld join connect error: error mounting lockproto lock_dlm"

I figure it has something to do with cman as it says that it failed to get dbus connection right, but this service looks fine in the other node. Below is the output from cman service on the problematic node.

systemctl status cman.service

Here is the LSB header section from cman service file for your reference,(The LSB comment headers of cman had corosync $remote-fs as Required-Start/Required-Stop. Since *_gfs2.mount are in remote-fs.target and needs to be started after cman and corosync, this is impossible to satisfy. Therfore, I've removed $remote_fs in /etc/init.d/cman and /etc/init.d/corosync)

!/bin/bash

cman - Cluster Manager init script

chkconfig: - 21 79 description: Starts and stops cman

BEGIN INIT INFO

Provides: cman

Required-Start: $network $time

Required-Stop: $network $time

Default-Stop: 0 6

Short-Description: Starts and stops cman

Description: Starts and stops the Cluster Manager set of daemons

END INIT INFO

I'm not sure what is causing this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

For your reference, I'm using

gfs2-cluster v 3.1.3-1.2

keel v3.16.0-4-amd64

Debian 8

I'm new to these waters so kindly bear with me if I've missed something and please let me know if you need more information from my side.

Thank you very much!

Cheers,
