= Conversion to Active/Active = == Requirements == The primary requirement for an Active/Active cluster is that the data required for your services is available, simultaneously, on both machines. Pacemaker makes no requirement on how this is achieved, you could use a SAN if you had one available, however since DRBD supports multiple Primaries, we can also use that. The only hitch is that we need to use a cluster-aware filesystem. The one we used earlier with DRBD, ext4, is not one of those. Both OCFS2 and GFS2 are supported, however here we will use GFS2 which comes with Fedora 13. We'll also need to use CMAN for Cluster Membership and Quorum instead of our Corosync plugin. == Adding CMAN Support == http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/Cluster_Suite_Overview/index.html#s2-clumembership-overview-CSO[CMAN v3] is a Corosync plugin that monitors the names and number of active cluster nodes in order to deliver membership and quorum information to clients (such as the Pacemaker daemons). In a traditional Corosync-Pacemaker cluster, a Pacemaker plugin is loaded to provide membership and quorum information. The motivation for wanting to use CMAN for this instead, is to ensure all elements of the cluster stack are making decisions based on the same membership and quorum data. footnote:[A failure to do this can lead to what is called 'internal split-brain' - a situation where different parts of the stack disagree about whether some nodes are alive or dead - which quickly leads to unnecessary down-time and/or data corruption.] In the case of GFS2, the key pieces are the dlm_controld and gfs_controld helpers which act as the glue between the filesystem and the cluster software. Supporting CMAN enables us to use the versions already being shipped by most distributions (since CMAN has been around longer than Pacemaker and is part of the Red Hat cluster stack). [WARNING] ========= Ensure Corosync and Pacemaker are stopped on all nodes before continuing ========= [WARNING] ========= Be sure to disable the Pacemaker plugin before continuing with this section. In most cases, this can be achieved by removing /etc/corosync/service.d/pcmk and stopping Corosync. ========= === Installing the required Software === [source,Bash] ----- # yum install -y cman

Pacemaker's fencing subsystem lets other parts of the stack know that a node has been successfully fenced, thus avoiding the need for it to be fenced again when other subsystems notice the node is gone. [WARNING] ========= Warning Configuring real fencing devices in CMAN will result in nodes being fenced multiple times as different parts of the stack notice the node is missing or failed. ========= The definition should be placed in the fencedevices section and contain: [source,XML] ----- ----- Each clusternode must be configured to use this device by adding a fence method block that lists the node's name as the port.

[WARNING] ========= This will erase all previous content stored on the DRBD device. Ensure you have a copy of any important data. ========= We need to specify a number of additional parameters when creating a GFS2 partition. First we must use the -p option to specify that we want to use the the Kernel's DLM. Next we use -j to indicate that it should reserve enough space for two journals (one per node accessing the filesystem). Lastly, we use -t to specify the lock table name. The format for this field is clustername:fsname. For the fsname, we just need to pick something unique and descriptive and since we haven't specified a clustername yet, we will use the default (pcmk). To specify an alternate name for the cluster, locate the service section containing +name: pacemaker+ in corosync.conf and insert the following line anywhere inside the block: ..... clustername: myname ..... Do this on each node in the cluster and be sure to restart them before continuing. [source,Bash] ----- # mkfs.gfs2 -p lock_dlm -j 2 -t pcmk:web /dev/drbd1 This will destroy any data on /dev/drbd1.

Recent versions of DRBD are capable of operating in Primary/Primary mode and the filesystem we're using is cluster aware. All we need to do now is reconfigure the cluster to take advantage of this. This will involve a number of changes, so we'll again use interactive mode. # crm # cib new active There's no point making the services active on both locations if we can't reach them, so lets first clone the IP address. Cloned IPaddr2 resources use an iptables rule to ensure that each request only gets processed by one of the two clone instances. The additional meta options tell the cluster how many instances of the clone we want (one "request bucket" for each node) and that if all other nodes fail, then the remaining node should hold all of them. Otherwise the requests would be simply discarded. [source,Bash] ----- # configure clone WebIP ClusterIP \ meta globally-unique="true" clone-max="2" clone-node-max="2" ----- Now we must tell the ClusterIP how to decide which requests are processed by which hosts. To do this we must specify the clusterip_hash parameter. Open the ClusterIP resource [source,Bash] ----- # configure edit ClusterIP ----- And add the following to the params line ..... clusterip_hash="sourceip" .....
