Hi, In our current design (which we plan to improve upon) we are using the CIB file to synchronize information across active and standby nodes. Basically we want the standby node to take the configuration that was used by the active node so we are adding those as resource attributes. This ensures that when the standby node takes over, it can read all the configuration which will be passed to it as environment variables. Initially we thought the list of configuration parameters will be less and we did some prototyping and saw that there wasn't much of an issue. But now the list has grown it has become close to 300 attributes. (I know this is like abusing the feature and we are looking towards doing it the right way).
So I have two questions: 1) What is the best way to synchronize such kind of information across nodes in the cluster? DRBD? Anything else that is simpler? For e.g. instead of syncing 300 attributes i could just sync up the path to a file. 2) In the current design, is there anything that I can do to reduce the CPU utilization of cib process? Currently it regularly takes 30-50% of the CPU. Any quick fix that I can do which will bring it down? For e.g. configure how often it synchronizes etc? -Thanks Nikhil
