One thing that I believe would really complement the howto is if you
could explain the configuration for a more complex setup, say two
separate drbd Primary devices on the same cluster.
Going from one to two drbd devices is not always obvious and there are
some location, collocation and order constrains that are not always easy
to figure out.
There are also gotchas depending on how you configure your constrains as
if you wanted to say bring down one of the filesystems on drbd or only
one of the resources, but not the other, then depending on how your
constrains were configured, bringing down only one of the two, can
actually bring down other services in the cluster.
If you would like any clarification, please let me know.

Hi,
I tried to write a new HOWTO about a setup of a dual primary DRBD and the
Cluster filesystem OCFS2 on top. You find it at:
http://www.clusterlabs.org/wiki/Dual_Primary_DRBD_%2B_OCFS2
Please note that it is only a first try. So I would be glad about any
improvements. Please mail me your suggenstions. Thanks!
Here we go:
Please note that the monitor-Operation of the primitive resource is not
only nice to have but essential to make the setup work. Otherwise the
second secondary resource will not get promoted after a failure.
That is not true, monitor is not essential (although highly
recommended). Enabling notify however *is* essential, and the RA will
bail out with $OCF_ERR_CONFIGURED if notifications are not enabled.
See my thread: "Strange behaviour of dual master DRBD" for the behaviour of a
dual master DRBD resouce WITHOUT monitoring. I still do not have a satifying
answer, why pacmeaker does not promote the resource on a node after it got
online after a standy. With monitoring it works.
colocation colDLMDRBD inf: cloneDRBD msDRBD:Master
"cloneDLM"?
Oops, yes. Thanks.
# mkfs.ocfs2 -N 16 /dev/drbd0
16 node slots for a filesystem that can only ever run on 2 nodes?
Copy and paste form the Novell Doc. Of course thes do not use DRBD. So I will
change.
primitive resFS ocf:heartbeat:Filesystem \
params device="/dev/drbd0" directory="/mnt" fstype="ocfs2" \
op monitor interval="120s"
Use device="/dev/drbd/by-res/<resourcename>" please, makes the config
much more transparent and easier to follow.
Ok
Thanks for all your comments!
