So I'm a long time corosync fan, and I've recently come back into the fold to change everything I've previously written to pcs, because that's the new cool thing.
Sadly, things seem to be a bit broken. Here's how things have gone today! I managed to get things kinda sorta working with the old 1.1.8 version of PCS on CentOS 6.4. I wasn't happy with it, but I went 'meh, that'll do, I'll fix it all with pacemaker 1.1.10'. No such luck. So, I create a few test resources and that all seems to work. Excellent. Now I want to start working on failing things over properly, 'pcs cluster standby node-a' Error: node 'node-a' does not appear to exist in configuration Looking through the pcs code, it's now checking that the node exists in /etc/corosync/corosync.conf Well that's cool, I can generate a conf with 'pcs cluster auth' and 'pcs cluster setup' according to CFS. No. No I can't. pcs cluster auth and pcs cluster setup requires pcsd (I assume? Whatever's meant to be listening on port 2224) but that appears to be missing in RHEL based distros. (This is, apparently, by design according to https://github.com/feist/pcs/issues/3 which is - admittedly - quite old) OK, so I'll create the corosync config file based on the template I found in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pcs/corosync.conf.template -- except that one isn't used, and only the fedora.template is. The fedora template specifies that it's using a pacemaker service, but.. I thought that had been deprecated and removed? So. I'm now at the point where I'm confused. Question: Am I doing something basically and fundamentally wrong? Is there a step that I've missed that generates the corosync.conf file that's required now? If not, can I just use the .template one, or, should I be using the .fedora.template with 6.4? I normally would just derp around with it and add my old corosync.conf file and keep playing, but, I have to wander off to geek at a Roller Derby thing tonight, so I thought I may throw it to the crowds before I start going down too many blind alleys. Question 2: What else is going to bite me? 8) Sorry for the length! --Rob _______________________________________________ Pacemaker mailing list: Pacemaker@oss.clusterlabs.org http://oss.clusterlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/pacemaker Project Home: http://www.clusterlabs.org Getting started: http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/Cluster_from_Scratch.pdf Bugs: http://bugs.clusterlabs.org
