[Linux-cluster] Qdisk with multiple heuristics?

[brem belguebli]

Hi Rafael,

Concerning your second point, have you initialized your
/dev/mpath/quorum device with mkqdisk ?

Also, the qdisk daemon must be running if you want it to be
operationnal in your cluster.

In my setup, everything is started manually, no automatic boot time
cluster start (safest option IMHO), and I use the following stepping:

1) start qdisk (service qdiskd start)
2) start cman (service cman start)
3) start rgmanager (service rgmanager start)
4) wait untill the cluster is quorate (a shell loop) before starting clvmd
5) start clvmd

 Output of clustat:

                                          State
....


[root at node1 ~]# ps -edf | grep qdisk
root      4409     1  0 Nov26 ?        00:04:00 qdiskd -Q


Concerning your point 1, you may address this by giving a different
score to each heuristic, but I clearly don't know if this is what it
intends to.
