Hi ,
I am upgrading from corosync 2.x/pacemaker 1.x to corosync 3.x/pacemaker
2.1.x
In our use case we are using a 2 node corosync/pacemaker cluster.
In corosync 2.x version I was using udpu as transport method. In the
corosync 3.x , as per man pages, the default transport mode is knet .
And in knet it uses udp as knet method.
I have the below doubts on the transport method.
1. Does knet require any special configuration on network level(like
multicast enabling).
No. What knet calls UDP is similar (from the user POV) to corosync's
UDPU, it's a unicast transport and doesn't need any multicast
configuration.
Sorry that's confusing, but it's more technically 'correct'. The main
reason UDPU was called that was because it was new to corosync when the
old (multicast) UDP protocol caused trouble for some people without good
multicast networks.
2. In corosync 2.x udp was used for multicast, in knet transport does
udp mean multicast.
No, see above. There is no multicast transport in knet.
3. Will udpu be deprecated in future.
Yes. We strongly recommend people use knet as the corosync transport as
that is the one getting most development. The old UDP/UDPU protocols
will only get bugfixes. Knet provides muti-homing up to 8 links, and
link priorities and much more.
I wrote a paper on this when we first introduced knet into corosync
which might help:

Kindly help me with these doubts.
