Re: [Pacemaker] KVM live migration and multipath

2013-06-26 Thread Sven Arnold
Hi, I did not trigger file system corruptions again. So, at this moment it looks like it is important to: - turn caching off - use native aio - *and* use an up-to-date machine type Failure to meet any of these criteria would result in fs corruption. Does this make sense at all? Later part is

Hi, I am getting closer... Some updates for those who are interested. Did you turn caching off for your VMs disks? That's a point. Indeed caching was not explicitely turned off and I just noticed that the default setting of the cache attribute of the device tag in libvirt has changed. [1] I w

Thank you for replying, Vladislav! I think the problem should be unrelated to iSCSI, you have correct setup (of course I did not thoroughly look through all info, but idea is perfectly correct). Thank you for confirming. Did you turn caching off for your VMs disks? That's a point. Indeed

Hi Doug, I have some 2-node active-passive clusters that occasionally lose Corosync connectivity. The connectivity is fixed with a reboot. They don't have shared storage so stonith doesn't have to happen for another node to take control of the resource. Also they are VMs so I can't use a stand

Hi All, it asked this on linux-ha but had no luck. Is anybody here who has some hints for me or could tell me if it is possible (and sensible) to live migrate a virtual machine if the disk image is provided by a multipath device? I am not sure if my approach is flawed or if I am using the wr

[Pacemaker] Ordering Constraint: Difference Between Stop and Migrate?

2013-03-09 Thread Sven Arnold
Dear all, Is it possible with ordering constraints to distinguish stopping a resource from migrating it to another node? I think it is not possible since the resource manager would need to know the "migration downtime" in advance but anyways I will give it a try: Given two resources A and B

Hi Osman, We think that the third node will be in standby, so only corosync and pacemaker processes will execute and no resource will be executed on this node by the cluster. I may be wrong here but from my understanding and according to [1] it is sufficient to run corosync only on an only-
