[Linux-HA] Quick 'death match cycle' question.

2013-09-02 Thread Alex Sudakar
I've got a very simple question which I suspect betrays my lack of understanding of something basic. Could someone help me understand? If I have a two-node Pacemaker cluster - say, a really simple cluster of two nodes, A & B, with a solitary network connection between them - then I have to set no

I have two specific questions about setting up multiple STONITH resources that are capable of killing the same node. I'm running Pacemaker 1.1.6-3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 with a cluster of two nodes, both KVM VMs. My intent is to actually have three stonith resources for each node/VM: -

Hello, Having done some reading over the past week on Pacemaker and Corosync I'd like to ask a few questions about points on which I'm still hazy. I'm trying to set up a very simple active/passive cluster of two nodes. The nodes will be KVM VM guests, each of the two running on separate physical
