  • pacemaker/corosync 2 nodes cluster questions (resource-stickiness & quorum)

    Posted on

    Hi Folks,
    I am testing a 2 nodes linux HA cluster with corosync and pacemaker. quorum and stonith are disabled for my tests. I use RHEL7.3
    For the moment I have 2 concerns:

    1) resource-stickiness : as I understand, the metaparameter "resource-stickiness" control if a resource need to come back on the node where it was previously started after a recovery, or not.
    I have created a VIP resource ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2 with resource-stickiness at 100, and I start it on a specific node:

    pcs resource create vip_test ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2 ip=10.102.2.47 cidr_netmask=32 op monitor interval=30s meta resource-stickiness=100

    pcs resource move vip_test node2

    Seems there something I don't do correctly, because when I reboot node2 or stop corosync/pacemaker, the VIP come back on node2 after node2 integrate the cluster again.

    Where am I wrong?^^

    2)quorum : if I understood the documentation correctly, it's not possible to have a quorum disk? I have a SAN connected in SAS on both node, and would like to avoid having to create another server to run a "software" quorum.
    I used to use with solaris cluster and it's possible to use a "disk quorum", so I wonder if I can do the same with rhel7/coro/pacemaker.

    Thx a lot in advance!
