To clarify, I was not seeking a quick response. I just noticed the threads I searched were NEVER answered, with the problem that I reported. That being said and about standby:
Why does my node come up as standby and not as online? Is there a setting in my conf file that affects that? Or another issue, is it configuration, please advise. Thanks, Randy PS - Here are some threads were it seems they were never answered, one going back 3 years ago: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-ha@lists.linux-ha.org/msg09886.html http://www.mail-archive.com/pacemaker@oss.clusterlabs.org/msg07663.html http://lists.community.tummy.com/pipermail/linux-ha/2008-August/034310.html On 5/19/2011 3:16 AM, Lars Ellenberg wrote: > On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 09:55:00AM -0700, Randy Katz wrote: >> ps - I searched a lot online and I see this issue coming up, > I doubt that _this_ issue comes up that often ;-) > >> and then after about 3-4 emails they request the resources and >> constraints and then there is never an answer to the thread, why?! > Hey, it's not even a day since you provided the config. > People have day jobs. > People get _payed_ to do support on these kinds of things, > so they probably first deal with requests by paying customers. > > If you need SLAs, you may need to check out a support contranct. > > Otherwise you need to be patient. > > > > From what I read, you probably just have misunderstood some concepts. > > "Standby" is not what I think you think it is ;-) > > "Standby" is NOT for deciding where resources will be placed. > > "Standby" is for manually switching a node into a mode where it WILL NOT > run any resources.
