Hello all,
I just installed last week two servers, each of them with Redhat Linux Enterprise 6.0 on it for hosting in a near future Blue Coat Reporter. Installation is ok but now I am trying to configure these both servers in cluster.
First of all, I never configured any cluster with Linux ...
Servers are both HP DL380R06 with disk cabinet directly attached on it. (twice exactly same hardware specs).
What I would like to get is simply getting an Actif/Passif clustering mode with bidirectional disk space synchronization. This means, both servers are running. Only, the first one is running Reporter. During this time, disk spaces are continuously synchronized. When first one is down, second one becomes actif and when first one is running again, it synchronizes the disks and becomes primary again.
server 1 is reporter1.lab.intranet with ip 10.30.30.90
server 2 is reporter2.lab.intranet with ip 10.30.30.91
the load balanced ip should be 10.30.30.92 ..
After some days of research on the net, I came to the conclusion that I could be happy with a solution including, DRBD/GFS2 with Redhat Cluster Suite.
I am first trying to get a complete picture running on two vmware fusion (Linux Redhat Enterprise Linux 6) on my macosx before configuring my real servers.
So, after some hours of research on the net, I found some articles and links that seem to describe what I wanna get ...

http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/rhel6/rhel_6_cluster_admin/rhel_6_cluster_ch-config-cli-CA.html
http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/users-guide.html
and the DRBD packages for RHEL6 that I did not find anywhere ..
http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el6/i386/RPMS/
I just only configured till now the first part, meaning cluster services but the first issue occur ..
below the cluster.conf file ...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster name="cluster" config_version="6">
<!-- post_join_delay: number of seconds the daemon will wait before
fencing any victims after a node joins the domain
post_fail_delay: number of seconds the daemon will wait before

clean_start : prevent any startup fencing the daemon might do.
It indicates that the daemon should assume all nodes
are in a clean state to start. -->
<fence_daemon clean_start="0" post_fail_delay="0" post_join_delay="3"/>
<clusternodes>
<clusternode name="reporter1.lab.intranet" votes="1" nodeid="1">
<fence>
<!-- Handle fencing manually -->
<method name="human">
<device name="human" nodename="reporter1.lab.intranet"/>
</method>
</fence>
</clusternode>
<clusternode name="reporter2.lab.intranet" votes="1" nodeid="2">
<fence>
<!-- Handle fencing manually -->
<method name="human">
<device name="human" nodename="reporter2.lab.intranet"/>
</method>
</fence>
</clusternode>
</clusternodes>
<!-- cman two nodes specification -->
<cman expected_votes="1" two_node="1"/>
<fencedevices>
<!-- Define manual fencing -->
<fencedevice name="human" agent="fence_manual"/>
</fencedevices>
<rm>
<failoverdomains>
<failoverdomain name="example_pri" nofailback="0" ordered="1" restricted="0">
<failoverdomainnode name="reporter1.lab.intranet" priority="1"/>
<failoverdomainnode name="reporter2.lab.intranet" priority="2"/>
</failoverdomain>
</failoverdomains>
<resources>
<ip address="10.30.30.92" monitor_link="on" sleeptime="10"/>
<apache config_file="conf/httpd.conf" name="example_server" server_root="/etc/httpd" shutdown_wait="0"/>
</resources>
<service autostart="1" domain="example_pri" exclusive="0" name="example_apache" recovery="relocate">
<ip ref="10.30.30.92"/>
<apache ref="example_server"/>
</service>
</rm>
</cluster>
and this is the result I get on both servers ...
[root at reporter1 ~]# clustat
Cluster Status for cluster @ Mon Feb 14 22:22:53 2011
Member Status: Quorate
Member Name ID Status
------ ---- ---- ------
reporter1.lab.intranet 1 Online, Local, rgmanager
reporter2.lab.intranet 2 Online, rgmanager
Service Name Owner (Last) State
------- ---- ----- ------ -----
service:example_apache (none) stopped
as you can see, everything is stopped or in other words nothing runs .. so my question are :
did I forget something in my conf file ?
did I make something wrong in my conf file ?
do I have to configure manually load balanced ip 10.30.30.92 as an alias ip on both sides or is it done automatically by redhat cluster ?
I just made a simple try with apache but I do not find anywhere reference to the start/stop script for apache in the examples, is that normal ??
do you have some best practice regarding this picture ??
many thks to help me because I certainly have a bad understanding on some points.
Regards
Vincent
