Hi! I had the doubt that setting up the SBD resources is described correctly in the "High Availability Guide" of SLES 11. My comment (to Novell I think) was: "Shouldn't here be a resource per node? Following the procedure, the resource just starts on an arbitrary node. If one primitive per node, you'll need a locational contraint to avoid multiple primitived running on the same node, right?"
Another book uses a clone resource for SBD (which seems to make sense). For all who don't have the test at hands, here's what the guide writes about SBD setup (page 194): -------snip-------- Configuring the Fencing Resource 1 To complete the SBD setup, it is necessary to activate SBD as a STONITH/fencing mechanism in the CIB as follows: crm configure crm(live)configure# property stonith-enabled="true" crm(live)configure# property stonith-timeout="30s" crm(live)configure# primitive stonith_sbd stonith:external/sbd params sbd_device="/dev/SBD" crm(live)configure# commit crm(live)configure# quit Which value to set for stonith-timeout depends on the msgwait timeout. Provided you kept the default msgwait timeout value (10 seconds), setting stonith-timeout to 30 seconds is appropriate. Since node slots are allocated automatically, no manual hostlist needs to be defined. 2 Disable any other fencing devices you might have configured before, since the SBD mechanism is used for this function now. Once the resource has started, your cluster is now successfully configured for sharedstorage fencing, and will utilize this method in case a node needs to be fenced. ---------snip------- Any suggestions?
