Hello.
I have a geographically distributed cluster, all machines have public IP
addresses. No virtual IP subnet exists, so no multicast is available.
I thought that UDPu transport can work in such environment, doesn't it?
To test everything in advance, I've set up a corosync+pacemaker on Ubuntu
14.04 with the following corosync.conf:
totem {
transport: udpu
interface {
ringnumber: 0
bindnetaddr: ip-address-of-the-current-machine
mcastport: 5405
}
}
nodelist {
node {
ring0_addr: node1
}
node {
ring0_addr: node2
}
}
...
(here node1 and node2 are hostnames from /etc/hosts on both machines).
After running "service corosync start; service pacemaker start" logs show
no problems, but actually both nodes are always offline:
root@node1:/etc/corosync# crm status | grep node
OFFLINE: [ node1 node2 ]
and "crm node online" (as all other attempts to make crm to do something)
are timed out with "communication error".
No iptables, selinux, apparmor and other bullshit are active: just pure
virtual machines with single public IP addresses on each. Also tcpdump
shows that UDB packets on port 5405 are going in and out, and if I e.g.
stop corosync at node1, the tcpdump output at node2 changes significantly.
So they see each other definitely.
And if I attach a gvpe adapter to these 2 machines with a private subnet
and switch transport to the default one, corosync + pacemaker begin to work.
So my question is: what am I doing wrong? Maybe UDPu is not suitable for
communications among machines with public IP addresses only?
