[opensuse] Replacing o2cb with heartbeat2+pacemaker?
Hi, I've read somewhere that probably is a good idea to let heartbeat/pacemaker manage the cluster membership for OCFS2 instead of using o2cb, has anybody done it?, is that a good decision at last?

yes, but you need a number of kernel patches which aren't upstream and only the SLES10 kernels include them (that I know of). I believe the patches were sent to the ocfs2 mailing list if you need to find them.
is that a good decision at last?
its a good idea so that heartbeat and ocfs2 have a consistent view of the cluster (ie. which nodes are up/down) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I hope the patches are accepted upstream so it turns in a standard use case. Luckily i'll be using SLES10SP1 for this setup, is there any documentation (notes, diagrams, etc)?

try some of these: http://www.novell.com/documentation/sles10/heartbeat/index.html?page=/docume... http://www.novell.com/linux/technical_library/ha_and_storage.html http://wiki.novell.com/images/c/c8/Tut323_bs2007.pdf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
