I'm trying to configure an ISCSI/DRBD high-availability cluster and I'd like to know what is the best option between OpenAIS and Heartbeat. I've seen they both are included in Centos Repos, yet OpenAIS requires installing 2 addition repos to install Pacemaker (EPEL and Clusterlab repos).
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to create a high availability environment between two CentOS machines? I don't mean just the HTTP service or just one other thing. I need the entire server synced in real time ready to take over if the next goes down.

i have a two node drbd cluster, while drbd1 is primary and drbd2 is slave i should make drbd1 slave and unmount drbd partition and make make drbd2 primary and mount drbd partition to see content on drbd2is it any way to automate it so as drbd1 goes down, drbd1 make itself primary and mount the partition?

Say my first data centre gets wiped out, how would customers reach my website on my second server in the second data centre by still typing www.example.com?The aim is for the customer not to notice any difference.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI work for a data center where we use a whole lot of VMware's "Fault Tolerant" Solution. As a personal project, I want to piece together an alternative solution out of open source software.
Here's my punchlist:
*Configure Debian (or build from scratch) to be as slimmed down as possible so that I may call it "Just Enough OS" or "baremetal"
*Install and configure Xen with XenMotion
*Prove that both the physical and virtual fail-overs work as intended
*Prove the automatic repair of failed virtual machines.
Now that I have setup a proxy server, as a next step I want to run it in fail-over high availability mode, so that if one proxy is down due to any reason, second proxy should automatically be up and start serving requests.

i am using the redhat cluster suite (luci and ricci) on my centos 5.3. i have 2 nodes in a cluster. when i poweroff the first node on wich a vm service is running, the service switchtes to node2. so far, so good :) but when i restart node1 the service is not failback to node1! i have created a failover domain with both nodes and priorized whre node1 has prio1 and node2 has prio2.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to build GFS2 cluster with 2 or 3 Fedora 14 nodes, but I've encountered some problems from the start. First luci does not work at all in Fedora 14. There is no luci_admin and even if I manage to start luci service, I get a blank white screen when I try to open it from the browser. I've googled a bit and found that I'd might be able to setup GFS if I manage to build cluster.conf manually and start the cluster suite, but I cannot find documentation on how to create cluster.conf anywhere. If anyone knows how to setup GFS2 without a cluster suite or how to configure cluster.conf.

I am trying to setup a High-Availability HTTP Load Balancer With HAProxy & Heartbeat using the below links.
I have all RHEL 5.4 servers hosted on VMWare.
[url]
[url]
This is the scenario, as given in the links as wells as my setup.
Load Balancer 1
Load Balancer 2
Web Server 1
Web Server 2
I have followed all the steps mentioned in the links religiously except the 2.2 here, in which it is asking to configure the vhosts. I could not really understand , what is to be placed in /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf file and in which Web Server.
Due to this step only, I think I am failing in Failover test given in Point 4.1 here. I am able to open the webpage by [url] which gives the content of Web Server 1 (http1.example.com). But, when I try to shutdown the http service (to check failover), it does not shows the contents of Web Server 2 (http2.example.com)
Although, I am able to succeed in Failover Test 4.2, in which shared IP 192.168.0.120 switches when I try to start/stop the any of the Load Balancers.
I am kinda stuck while providing solution for the above problem. I have achieved the fail over using keepalived but not sure how can we replicate the data from one server to other seamlessly and have them in sync with each other. My prime requirement for this project is end user should not notice the fail over and replicated copy of data should be available on the secondary as well.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running RHEL 5.5 on two workstation for test DRBD and I get something that sound strange ...[URL] Quote:Protocol C. Synchronous replication protocol. Local write operations on the primary node are considered completed only after both the local and the remote disk write have been confirmed. As a result, loss of a single node is guaranteed not to lead to any data loss. Data loss is, of course, inevitable even with this replication protocol if both nodes (or their storage subsystems) are irreversibly destroyed at the same time. By far, the most commonly used replication protocol in DRBD setups is protocol C.

I've been working at creating a highly available set of host servers for a linux diskless boot cluster.Each host machine is fitted with redundant power supplies and two 1TB drives in a Raid-1 configuration.When I first started this project they each had twin 160GB drives. In my original setup I had both nodes acting as primary systems so that I could mount /dev/drbd0 to my /data directory and see changes immediately.It had worked in the past where I could make a file in /data on the first machine and it would show up in the /data directory on the second machine. One day this had stopped working where if I made a file on the first machine it would display on the second one until I unmounted /data and remounted it to the /dev/drbd0 disk.
This is when I bought the new disks and decided to start from scratch. The weird thing is that if I make a file on the primary and remount on the secondary to see it and then delete it from the secondary and THEN delete it on the primary, the primary throws no error however it goes into read-only mode because it knows that file was already gone.Below is my configuration file, sda8 is an 820GB partition which is used for all of the data I want to replicate, currently populated with ~10GB of data. Sda7 is my metadisk partition which is 500MB large clearly more than needed by drbd.Also you will notice "incon-degr-cmd "halt -f";" is commented out. This is because when I go to actually use it drbd throws an error when reloading the configuration and I'm not sure why that is either
resource r0 {
protocol C;
#incon-degr-cmd "halt -f";

i have problems with my failover machines and cant locate the cause. The last update is quite some time ago.So will it hurt my configuration when I do an yum-update? I have 5 Xen VM on each machine, also they replicate with drbd and heartbeat. Can I just update the dom0 and leave the VM untouched inside?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe first server I installed installed fine. The second server, installed with the same config, went to "kernel panic not syncing no init found try passing init= option in kernel" error. I tried reinstalling but it keeps going to that error after install reboot. The storage is ISCSI connected via Intel Server Adapter, which allows it to boot from ISCSI. Not sure if that's the cause for the problem, but the first server is connected to the same ISCSI and installed just fine.
Is there a way that I can make sure ISCSI module installs during installation? Although I think it is installed since it's able to copy the files and setup /dev/sda. I just wana make sure that it installs during setup.
I have never done this before but stood up a new Debian (testing) x64 system. It only has 146GB available for RAID1 so I created a 500GB iSCSI LUN on my NAS device on the network and am really confused how I can attach my Debian to the iSCSI LUN I created. Right now the OS is installed all locally on the machine but I would like the iSCSI LUN to be the /home directory for mail storage. Is this possible or do I need to mount the LUN to a newly created folder / mount point that is locally attached?
