PACEMAKER

Installation

[ALL] Initial setup

Install required packages:

sudo apt-get install pacemaker cman resource-agents fence-agents gfs2-utils gfs2-cluster ocfs2-tools-cman openais drbd8-utils
Make sure each host can resolve all other hosts. Best way to achive this is by adding their IPs and hostnames to /etc/hosts on all nodes. In this example, that would be:

eth0
192.168.244.161 fix
192.168.244.162 foxy
eth1
10.168.244.161   fix-ha
10.168.244.162   foxy-ha

Disable o2cb from starting:

update-rc.d -f o2cb remove

[ALL] Create /etc/cluster/cluster.conf

Paste this into /etc/cluster/cluster.conf:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster config_version="4" name="pacemaker">
   <fence_daemon clean_start="0" post_fail_delay="0" post_join_delay="3"/>
   <clusternodes>
           <clusternode name="fix" nodeid="1" votes="1">
               <fence>
                       <method name="pcmk-redirect">
                               <device name="pcmk" port="fix"/>
                       </method>
               </fence>
           </clusternode>
           <clusternode name="foxy" nodeid="2" votes="1">
               <fence>
                       <method name="pcmk-redirect">
                               <device name="pcmk" port="foxy"/>
                       </method>
               </fence>
           </clusternode>
   </clusternodes>
 <fencedevices>
   <fencedevice name="pcmk" agent="fence_pcmk"/>
 </fencedevices>
   <cman/>
</cluster>

[ALL] Edit /etc/corosync/corosync.conf

Find pacemaker service in /etc/corosync/corosync.conf and bump version to 1:

service {
        # Load the Pacemaker Cluster Resource Manager
        ver:       1
        name:      pacemaker
}

Replace bindnetaddr with the IP of your network. For example:

                bindnetaddr: 10.168.244.0

'0' is not a typo.

[ALL] Enable pacemaker init scripts

update-rc.d -f pacemaker remove
update-rc.d pacemaker start 50 1 2 3 4 5 . stop 01 0 6 .

[ALL] Start cman service and then pacemaker service

[ONE] Setup resources

Wait for a minute until pacemaker declares all nodes online:
