As someone who is just getting acquainted with a world that is no longer just DRBD + Heartbeat, I find myself a bit confused on exactly what I should be using - CoroSync or OpenAIS?

I was using OpenAIS + Pacemaker in my first few days of testing, but I then upgraded only to find that the aisexec binary was no longer part of the openais package. and that the openais init scripts simply called /usr/sbin/corosync. Should we just be calling /etc/init.d/corosync instead?

Concerning the main config file, there now appears to be a new configuration file location '/etc/corosync.conf' on the filesystem. Does this mean /etc/ais just used as a place to store the authkey and amf.conf? To that end, should the 'aisexec' container (described on http://clusterlabs.org/wiki/Initial_Configuration) be changed to say 'corosync' instead?


I'd be grateful to anyone who could give definitive answers for any or all of these questions, because the clusterlabs wiki makes almost zero mention of corosync, except for a brief blurb in the FAQ/TODO which indicate that it's the next version of OpenAIS. If the future is truly OpenAIS (or CoroSync), and not Heartbeat, I'd feel a lot better if it were a better documented and/or less volatile target.



Regards,
Ryan
