Hello,
thanks for the information.
I was looking at this page
http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-pacemaker-fencing.html
I did specify the following handlers :
handlers {
fence-peer "/usr/lib/drbd/crm-fence-peer.sh";
after-resync-target "/usr/lib/drbd/crm-unfence-peer.sh";
}
I disconnected the network cable between the clusters, corosync and drbd
uses this link.
I was able to see that the fence script added a constraint :
location drbd-fence-by-handler-ms-drbd-supervision ms-drbd-supervision \
rule $id="drbd-fence-by-handler-rule-ms-drbd-supervision"
$role="Master" -inf: #uname ne host
But this made :
:StandAlone ro:Secondary/Unknown ds:UpToDate/Outdated on drbd.
I don't really understand what I should be expected from those handlers ?
When cleaning up the errors, I shoudl delete the constraint right ?
Regards,
Hugo
