Ensure that *Allow from 127.0.0.1* is present for the ** block. ====== == Ensure Resources Run on the Same Host == To reduce the load on any one machine, Pacemaker will generally try to spread the configured resources across the cluster nodes. However, we can tell the cluster that two resources are related and need to run on the same host (or not at all). Here, we instruct the cluster that WebSite can only run on the host that ClusterIP is active on. To achieve this, we use a _colocation constraint_ that indicates it is mandatory for WebSite to run on the same node as ClusterIP. The "mandatory" part of the colocation constraint is indicated by using a score of INFINITY. The INFINITY score also means that if ClusterIP is not active anywhere, WebSite will not be permitted to run. [NOTE] ======= If ClusterIP is not active anywhere, WebSite will not be permitted to run anywhere. ======= [IMPORTANT] =========== Colocation constraints are "directional", in that they imply certain things about the order in which the two resources will have a location chosen.

However, if Apache binds only to certain IP address(es), the order matters: If the address is added after Apache starts, Apache won't respond on that address. To be sure our WebSite responds regardless of Apache's address configuration, we need to make sure ClusterIP not only runs on the same node, but starts before WebSite. A colocation constraint only ensures the resources run together, not the order in which they are started and stopped. We do this by adding an ordering constraint.

For this document, we will use a 1GiB logical volume, which is more than sufficient for a single HTML file and (later) GFS2 metadata. ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# vgdisplay | grep -e Name -e Free VG Name fedora-server_pcmk-1 Free PE / Size 511 / 2.00 GiB [root@pcmk-1 ~]# lvcreate --name drbd-demo --size 1G fedora-server_pcmk-1 Logical volume "drbd-demo" created [root@pcmk-1 ~]# lvs LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert drbd-demo fedora-server_pcmk-1 -wi-a----- 1.00g root fedora-server_pcmk-1 -wi-ao---- 5.00g swap fedora-server_pcmk-1 -wi-ao---- 1.00g ---- Repeat this on the second node, making sure to use the same size. ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# ssh pcmk-2 -- lvcreate --name drbd-demo --size 1G fedora-server_pcmk-2 Logical volume "drbd-demo" created ---- == Configure DRBD == There is no series of commands for building a DRBD configuration, so simply run this on both nodes to use this sample configuration: ---- # cat </etc/drbd.d/wwwdata.res resource wwwdata { protocol C; meta-disk internal; device /dev/drbd1; syncer { verify-alg sha1; } net { allow-two-primaries; } on pcmk-1 { disk /dev/fedora-server_pcmk-1/drbd-demo; address 192.168.122.101:7789; } on pcmk-2 { disk /dev/fedora-server_pcmk-2/drbd-demo; address 192.168.122.102:7789; } } END ---- [IMPORTANT] ========= Edit the file to use the hostnames, IP addresses and logical volume paths of your nodes if they differ from the ones used in this guide. ========= [NOTE] ======= Detailed information on the directives used in this configuration (and other alternatives) is available at http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/ch-configure.html The *allow-two-primaries* option would not normally be used in an active/passive cluster. We are adding it here for the convenience of changing to an active/active cluster later. ======= == Initialize DRBD == With the configuration in place, we can now get DRBD running. These commands create the local metadata for the DRBD resource, ensure the DRBD kernel module is loaded, and bring up the DRBD resource. Run them on one node: ---- # drbdadm create-md wwwdata initializing activity log NOT initializing bitmap Writing meta data... New drbd meta data block successfully created. # modprobe drbd # drbdadm up wwwdata ---- We can confirm DRBD's status on this node: ---- # cat /proc/drbd version: 8.4.5 (api:1/proto:86-101) srcversion: 153833F4A69E341D3F3E707 1: cs:WFConnection ro:Secondary/Unknown ds:Inconsistent/DUnknown C r----s ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:f oos:1048508 ---- Because we have not yet initialized the data, this node's data is marked as *Inconsistent*. Because we have not yet initialized the second node, the local state is *WFConnection* (waiting for connection), and the partner node's status is marked as *Unknown*. Now, repeat the above commands on the second node. This time, when we check the status, it shows: ---- # cat /proc/drbd version: 8.4.5 (api:1/proto:86-101) srcversion: 153833F4A69E341D3F3E707 1: cs:Connected ro:Secondary/Secondary ds:Inconsistent/Inconsistent C r----- ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:f oos:1048508 ---- You can see the state has changed to *Connected*, meaning the two DRBD nodes are communicating properly, and both nodes are in *Secondary* role with *Inconsistent* data. To make the data consistent, we need to tell DRBD which node should be considered to have the correct data. In this case, since we are creating a new resource, both have garbage, so we'll just pick pcmk-1 and run this command on it: ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# drbdadm primary --force wwwdata ---- [NOTE] ====== In DRBD 8.3 and earlier, the equivalent command is: ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# drbdadm -- --overwrite-data-of-peer primary wwwdata ---- ====== If we check the status immediately, we'll see something like this: ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# cat /proc/drbd version: 8.4.5 (api:1/proto:86-101) srcversion: 153833F4A69E341D3F3E707 1: cs:SyncSource ro:Primary/Secondary ds:UpToDate/Inconsistent C r----- ns:2872 nr:0 dw:0 dr:3784 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:f oos:1045636 [>....................] sync'ed: 0.4% (1045636/1048508)K finish: 0:10:53 speed: 1,436 (1,436) K/sec ---- We can see that this node has the *Primary* role, the partner node has the *Secondary* role, this node's data is now considered *UpToDate*, the partner node's data is still *Inconsistent*, and a progress bar shows how far along the partner node is in synchronizing the data. After a while, the sync should finish, and you'll see something like: ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# cat /proc/drbd version: 8.4.5 (api:1/proto:86-101) srcversion: 153833F4A69E341D3F3E707 1: cs:Connected ro:Primary/Secondary ds:UpToDate/UpToDate C r----- ns:1048508 nr:0 dw:0 dr:1049420 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:f oos:0 ---- Both sets of data are now *UpToDate*, and we can proceed to creating and populating a filesystem for our WebSite resource's documents. == Populate the DRBD Disk == On the node with the primary role (pcmk-1 in this example), create a filesystem on the DRBD device: ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# mkfs.ext4 /dev/drbd1 mke2fs 1.42.11 (09-Jul-2014) Creating filesystem with 262127 4k blocks and 65536 inodes Filesystem UUID: 26879260-9077-4d6d-ad69-7d31d3d8d8d4 Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376 Allocating group tables: done Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (4096 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done ---- [NOTE] ==== In this example, we create an ext4 filesystem with no special options. In a production environment, you should choose a filesystem type and options that are suitable for your application. ==== Mount the newly created filesystem, populate it with our web document, then unmount it (the cluster will handle mounting and unmounting it later): ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# mount /dev/drbd1 /mnt [root@pcmk-1 ~]# cat <<-END >/mnt/index.html My Test Site - DRBD END [root@pcmk-1 ~]# umount /dev/drbd1 ---- == Configure the Cluster for the DRBD device == One handy feature `pcs` has is the ability to queue up several changes into a file and commit those changes atomically. To do this, start by populating the file with the current raw XML config from the CIB. ---- # pcs cluster cib drbd_cfg ---- Using the `pcs -f` option, make changes to the configuration saved in the +drbd_cfg+ file. These changes will not be seen by the cluster until the +drbd_cfg+ file is pushed into the live cluster's CIB later. Here, we create a cluster resource for the DRBD device, and an additional _clone_ resource to allow the resource to run on both nodes at the same time. ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs -f drbd_cfg resource create WebData ocf:linbit:drbd \ drbd_resource=wwwdata op monitor interval=60s [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs -f drbd_cfg resource master WebDataClone WebData \ master-max=1 master-node-max=1 clone-max=2 clone-node-max=1 \ notify=true [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs -f drbd_cfg resource show ClusterIP (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2): Started WebSite (ocf::heartbeat:apache): Started Master/Slave Set: WebDataClone [WebData] Stopped: [ pcmk-1 pcmk-2 ] ---- After you are satisfied with all the changes, you can commit them all at once by pushing the drbd_cfg file into the live CIB. ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs cluster cib-push drbd_cfg CIB updated ---- [NOTE] ==== Early versions of `pcs` required `push cib` in place of `cib-push` above. ==== Let's see what the cluster did with the new configuration: ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs status Cluster name: mycluster Last updated: Wed Dec 17 16:39:43 2014 Last change: Wed Dec 17 16:39:30 2014 Stack: corosync Current DC: pcmk-2 (2) - partition with quorum Version: 1.1.12-a9c8177 2 Nodes configured 4 Resources configured Online: [ pcmk-1 pcmk-2 ] Full list of resources: ClusterIP (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2): Started pcmk-1 WebSite (ocf::heartbeat:apache): Started pcmk-1 Master/Slave Set: WebDataClone [WebData] Masters: [ pcmk-1 ] Slaves: [ pcmk-2 ] PCSD Status: pcmk-1: Online pcmk-2: Online Daemon Status: corosync: active/disabled pacemaker: active/disabled pcsd: active/enabled ---- We can see that *WebDataClone* (our DRBD device) is running as master (DRBD's primary role) on *pcmk-1* and slave (DRBD's secondary role) on *pcmk-2*.

For Fedora 21, you would run this on both nodes: ---- # echo drbd >/etc/modules-load.d/drbd.conf ---- ==== == Configure the Cluster for the Filesystem == Now that we have a working DRBD device, we need to mount its filesystem. In addition to defining the filesystem, we also need to tell the cluster where it can be located (only on the DRBD Primary) and when it is allowed to start (after the Primary was promoted). We are going to take a shortcut when creating the resource this time. Instead of explicitly saying we want the *ocf:heartbeat:Filesystem* script, we are only going to ask for *Filesystem*. We can do this because we know there is only one resource script named *Filesystem* available to pacemaker, and that pcs is smart enough to fill in the *ocf:heartbeat:* portion for us correctly in the configuration. If there were multiple *Filesystem* scripts from different OCF providers, we would need to specify the exact one we wanted. Once again, we will queue our changes to a file and then push the new configuration to the cluster as the final step. ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs cluster cib fs_cfg [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs -f fs_cfg resource create WebFS Filesystem \ device="/dev/drbd1" directory="/var/www/html" \ fstype="ext4" -[root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs -f fs_cfg constraint colocation add WebFS WebDataClone INFINITY with-rsc-role=Master +[root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs -f fs_cfg constraint colocation add WebFS with WebDataClone INFINITY with-rsc-role=Master [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs -f fs_cfg constraint order promote WebDataClone then start WebFS Adding WebDataClone WebFS (kind: Mandatory) (Options: first-action=promote then-action=start) ---- We also need to tell the cluster that Apache needs to run on the same machine as the filesystem and that it must be active before Apache can start. ---- -[root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs -f fs_cfg constraint colocation add WebSite WebFS INFINITY +[root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs -f fs_cfg constraint colocation add WebSite with WebFS INFINITY [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs -f fs_cfg constraint order WebFS then WebSite Adding WebFS WebSite (kind: Mandatory) (Options: first-action=start then-action=start) ---- Review the updated configuration. ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs -f fs_cfg constraint Location Constraints: Ordering Constraints: start ClusterIP then start WebSite (kind:Mandatory) promote WebDataClone then start WebFS (kind:Mandatory) start WebFS then start WebSite (kind:Mandatory) Colocation Constraints: WebSite with ClusterIP (score:INFINITY) WebFS with WebDataClone (score:INFINITY) (with-rsc-role:Master) WebSite with WebFS (score:INFINITY) [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs -f fs_cfg resource show ClusterIP (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2): Started WebSite (ocf::heartbeat:apache): Started Master/Slave Set: WebDataClone [WebData] Masters: [ pcmk-1 ] Slaves: [ pcmk-2 ] WebFS (ocf::heartbeat:Filesystem): Stopped ---- After reviewing the new configuration, upload it and watch the cluster put it into effect. ---- [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs cluster cib-push fs_cfg [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs status Cluster name: mycluster Last updated: Wed Dec 17 17:02:45 2014 Last change: Wed Dec 17 17:02:42 2014 Stack: corosync Current DC: pcmk-2 (2) - partition with quorum Version: 1.1.12-a9c8177 2 Nodes configured 5 Resources configured Online: [ pcmk-1 pcmk-2 ] Full list of resources: ClusterIP (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2): Started pcmk-1 WebSite (ocf::heartbeat:apache): Started pcmk-1 Master/Slave Set: WebDataClone [WebData] Masters: [ pcmk-1 ] Slaves: [ pcmk-2 ] WebFS (ocf::heartbeat:Filesystem): Started pcmk-1 PCSD Status: pcmk-1: Online pcmk-2: Online Daemon Status: corosync: active/disabled pacemaker: active/disabled pcsd: active/enabled ---- == Test Cluster Failover == Previously, we used `pcs cluster stop pcmk-1` to stop all cluster services on *pcmk-1*, failing over the cluster resources, but there is another way to safely simulate node failure. We can put the node into _standby mode_. Nodes in this state continue to run corosync and pacemaker but are not allowed to run resources. Any resources found active there will be moved elsewhere. This feature can be particularly useful when performing system administration tasks such as updating packages used by cluster resources. Put the active node into standby mode, and observe the cluster move all the resources to the other node.
