In a somewhat extended context, there used to be "apphbd", which itself would register with some watchdog to "monitor" itself, and which "applications" would register with to negotiate their own "application heartbeat". Not neccessarily only components of the cluster manager, but cluster aware "resources" as well. If they fail to feed their app hb, apphbd would then "trigger a notification", and some other entity would react on that based on yet an other configuration. And plugins. Didn't old heartbeat like the concept of plugins... Anyways, you get the idea. Currently, we have SBD chosen as such a "watchdog proxy", maybe we can generalize it? All of that would require cooperation within the node itself, though. In this scenario, the cluster is not trusting the "sanity" of the "commander in chief". So maybe in addition of this "in-node application heartbeat", all non-DCs should periodically actively challenge the sanity of the DC from the outside, and trigger re-election if they have "reasonable doubt"? -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Keeping the Digital World Running : DRBD -- Heartbeat -- Corosync -- Pacemaker : R&D, Integration, Ops, Consulting, Support DRBD® and LINBIT® are registered trademarks of LINBIT _______________________________________________ Users mailing list: Users@clusterlabs.org http://clusterlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/users Project Home: http://www.clusterlabs.org Getting started: http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/Cluster_from_Scratch.pdf Bugs: http://bugs.clusterlabs.org
