Friends of me told me that Corosync is giving strange error so i used haresources with heartbeat. heartbeat with haresources is easy to use. you have 1 file on both servers. they are both exact the same server1 and server2 general config cat /etc/ha.d/ha.cf keepalive 2 deadtime 30 ucast eth0 kvmstorage1.localhost ucast eth0 kvmstorage2.localhost #bcast eth0 #udpport 695 node kvmstorage1.localhost kvmstorage2.localhost auto_failback on logfile /var/log/ha-log server1 (this ip is the virtualip) cat /etc/ha.d/haresources kvmstorage1.localhost IPaddr::192.168.123.209/24/eth0 drbddisk::main Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/datastore::ext4 nfslock nfs rpcidmapd mysqld server2 cat /etc/ha.d/haresources kvmstorage1.localhost IPaddr::192.168.123.209/24/eth0 drbddisk::main Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/datastore::ext4 nfslock nfs rpcidmapd mysqld all the services that are here are automatically started.. But they must be available in /etc/rc.d/... you don't need to start them manually or via "service" they start (not restart) when the node is going to be active. You also need to share the NFS library in my case it was /var/lib/nfs need to be at /datastore/nfs # on both servers mount /drbd0/ datastore mv /var/lib/nfs /datastore/ ln -s /datastore/nfs /var/lin/nfs marcel On 6 jun. 2012, at 00:27, Yount, William D wrote: > Should I be using heartbeat instead of Corosync? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Marcel Kraan [mailto:marcel at kraan.net] > Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2012 5:19 PM > To: Yount, William D > Cc: Felix Frank; drbd-user at lists.linbit.com > Subject: Re: [DRBD-user] Fault Tolerant NFS > > This is what heartbeat does. > It mount the drbd disk and start all the programs that are given in the haresources the virtual ip will be on the second server up and running. > so basically your 1servers becomes the second. > when the 1st server come up again he will take it over again. > > i can shutdown the first or second server without going down..

There just seems to be so many moving pieces that don't always work they way they are supposed to. I have been reading all the material I can get my hands on but a lot of it seems contradictory or only applicable on certain OS versions with certain versions of OCFS2, DRBD and Pacemaker. >> >> It doesn't matter to me if it is master/slave or dual primaries.
