Two comments

- I would like to see the logo used by as many

- Should we not add a word about the license to the FAQ on top? I mean,
I am with Open Source for quite some time but some others might not and
we want to get fresh members to the community, right? I'm not sure all

And here it comes to the question of support.

For enterprises, be it just servers or High Availability, Storage or
Cloud, it's about the package as they say in the formula 1.

Having something as Open Source is one side of it, but making sure it
keeps working, is trustable, and someone is committed to help in case
there is need for help - that is the business of SUSE and others.

What SUSE does in HA Open Source, SUSE also is a proud and gentle
community member, bringing stuff upstream and into openSUSE, providing
tools for the Linux community etc.

However, you started with how to get access. Go to suse.com, products,
High availability and download an eval.

This gives you exact the offering customer can get - which is a media
with packages plus access to updates and support. The goal of this is to
evaluate the offering.

If you feel registration is too much effort, or you might be interested
into the community version without commercial support, then go with
openSUSE leap.

Every customer can file bugs for SLES, which is called an Service

Christiano however is a colleague of SUSE, so he can directly file a bug
without an SR.

And finally some SUSE engineers and others are on this list and will

So, you have a time window of ~1h where the system is under load, right?
This is somewhat different to what Ulrich had, but his approach might be
useful for you, too.

Something against running some monitoring and capturing the processes,
process states and load say, every 5 minutes?

Of course, the peaks might correlate to something in the logs - like
cron, logins, logrotates or whatever.

Not bad ...

For the SUSE HA offering we limit support to 32 nodes because after this
the timing gets so critical that we can't make a support statement anymore.

We do have customers with special testing / setups running ~40 nodes,
but that really depends on the workload and resources you have to configure.

Looks like you've found this, too.

pacemaker_remote might be a chance to get more nodes, depending on the
services you're running.

I wonder if not a cloud solution (with some HA embedded) or a break up
in smaller chunks is beneficial.

It's not only about the technical capabilities but the mental
capabilities of the admins limiting the reliability of such a huge cluster.

Just in case, there are HPC clusters with many more nodes, but these
address a total different use case.

To be honest, it will not fix the root cause which looks like SBD is not
getting enough CPU cycles within 4 seconds, which is a lot of time
computer-wise.

For me it simply looks like the machine should get more CPU resources
assinged.

Else the VM might behave not as you want and these messages are just a
small issue compared to something real going wrong.

Yes. No. Might be.
^L
The concept of geo cluster is cluster of cluster, where the local
cluster handles local issue using local timing (seconds), while the geo
handles geo issues with much wider timing constrains (minutes, if not
hour(s)).

A geo setup needs a minimum of 2 sites + an arbitrator site.

The arbitrator can be a single node (even a small VM) with the cluster
stack running, if only used as a plain arbitrator.

In theory you could run without an arbitrator, if the admins are the
arbitrators.

The other sites needs a cluster stack running, of course this will work
with a single node cluster, too.

Wonder what setup needs geo redundancy but no local clusters, or what
setup needs booth but isn't geo.

Booth is based on the sites, not the nodes.

It doesn't matter how many nodes are at each site as long as the site
works on it's own.

When a site comes down, then booth uses an arbitrator (site) to
determine the failing site is down.

For most environments such a switch will not be done automatically but
with some organizational interaction. You don't want to switch your data
center between EU and US if not really needed, without an SEC filing, or
whatever some C* has in mind. Of course this is not a technical
limitation but an organizational.

It would help if you could elaborate on the wish for an HA stack, if you

But if you don't want HA, then just do not install HA & do not configure

Yes: write a resource agent for this.

However, there is a possibility to use Nagios/Icinga probes, which are

Just in case, clustering without fencing is a pretty bad idea in

 Cluster locking comes at a performance cost. All locks need to be

right.

 Using a pair of nodes with a traditional file system exported by NFS and
 made accessible by a floating (virtual) IP address gives you redundancy
 without incurring the complexity and performance overhead of cluster
 locking.

Then you have to copy all data on the network, which limits data throughput.


 Also, you won't need clvmd either. The trade-off through is
 that if/when the primary fails, the nfs daemon will appear to restart to
 the users and that may require a reconnection (not sure, I use nfs
 sparingly).

AFAIK NFS failover includes an NFS timeout, which can be tuned but might
give you an extra time till the failover will be finished by the client
perspective.

 Generally speaking, I recommend always avoiding cluster FSes unless
 they're really required.

Full ACK.
