The format for this field is ``:``. For ``CLUSTERNAME``, we need to use the same value we specified originally with ``pcs cluster setup --name`` (which is also the value of **cluster_name** in ``/etc/corosync/corosync.conf``). If you are unsure what your cluster name is, you can look in ``/etc/corosync/corosync.conf`` or execute the command ``pcs cluster corosync pcmk-1 | grep cluster_name``.

With this configuration, the data is now active/active. The website administrator could change HTML files on either node, and the live website will show the changes even if it is running on the opposite node. If the web server is configured to listen on all IP addresses, it is possible to remove the constraints between the WebSite and ClusterIP resources, and clone the WebSite resource. The web server would always be ready to serve web pages, and only the IP address would need to be moved in a failover. diff --git a/doc/sphinx/Clusters_from_Scratch/ap-configuration.rst b/doc/sphinx/Clusters_from_Scratch/ap-configuration.rst index 438eb8b78d..ea1e042522 100644 --- a/doc/sphinx/Clusters_from_Scratch/ap-configuration.rst +++ b/doc/sphinx/Clusters_from_Scratch/ap-configuration.rst @@ -1,364 +1,366 @@ Configuration Recap ------------------- Final Cluster Configuration ########################### .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs resource * ClusterIP (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2): Started pcmk-1 * WebSite (ocf::heartbeat:apache): Started pcmk-1 * Clone Set: WebData-clone [WebData] (promotable): * Masters: [ pcmk-1 pcmk-2 ] * Clone Set: dlm-clone [dlm]: * Started: [ pcmk-1 pcmk-2 ] * Clone Set: WebFS-clone [WebFS]: * Started: [ pcmk-1 pcmk-2 ] .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs resource op defaults Meta Attrs: op_defaults-meta_attributes timeout=240s .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs stonith * ipmi-fencing (stonith:fence_ipmilan): Started pcmk-1 .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs constraint Location Constraints: Ordering Constraints: start ClusterIP then start WebSite (kind:Mandatory) promote WebDataClone then start WebFS-clone (kind:Mandatory) start WebFS-clone then start WebSite (kind:Mandatory) start dlm-clone then start WebFS-clone (kind:Mandatory) Colocation Constraints: WebSite with ClusterIP (score:INFINITY) WebFS-clone with WebDataClone (score:INFINITY) (with-rsc-role:Master) WebSite with WebFS-clone (score:INFINITY) WebFS-clone with dlm-clone (score:INFINITY) Ticket Constraints: .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs status Cluster name: mycluster Stack: corosync Current DC: pcmk-1 (version 1.1.18-11.el7_5.3-2b07d5c5a9) - partition with quorum Last updated: Fri Jul 16 09:00:56 2021 Last change: Wed Jul 14 11:06:25 2021 by root via cibadmin on pcmk-1 2 nodes configured 11 resources configured Online: [ pcmk-1 pcmk-2 ] Full List of Resources: * ipmi-fencing (stonith:fence_ipmilan): Stopped * ClusterIP (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2): Started pcmk-1 * WebSite (ocf::heartbeat:apache): Started pcmk-1 * Clone Set: WebData-clone [WebData] (promotable): * Masters: [ pcmk-1 pcmk-2 ] * Clone Set: dlm-clone [dlm]: * Started: [ pcmk-1 pcmk-2 ] * Clone Set: WebFS-clone [WebFS]: * Started: [ pcmk-1 pcmk-2 ] Daemon Status: corosync: active/disabled pacemaker: active/disabled pcsd: active/enabled .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs cluster cib --config .. code-block:: xml + Node List ######### .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs status nodes Pacemaker Nodes: Online: pcmk-1 pcmk-2 Standby: Standby with resource(s) running: Maintenance: Offline: Pacemaker Remote Nodes: Online: Standby: Standby with resource(s) running: Maintenance: Offline: Cluster Options ############### .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs property Cluster Properties: cluster-infrastructure: corosync cluster-name: mycluster dc-version: 2.1.0-3.el8-7c3f660707 have-watchdog: false + no-quorum-policy: freeze stonith-enabled: true The output shows state information automatically obtained about the cluster, including: * **cluster-infrastructure** - the cluster communications layer in use * **cluster-name** - the cluster name chosen by the administrator when the cluster was created * **dc-version** - the version (including upstream source-code hash) of Pacemaker used on the Designated Controller, which is the node elected to determine what actions are needed when events occur The output also shows options set by the administrator that control the way the cluster operates, including: * **stonith-enabled=true** - whether the cluster is allowed to use STONITH resources Resources ######### Default Options _______________ .. code-block:: none [root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs resource defaults resource-stickiness: 100 This shows cluster option defaults that apply to every resource that does not explicitly set the option itself.
