Pacemaker + DRBD + Xen: failback issues

SLES High Availability Extension
1

Hi,

We have a 2 node cluster with SLES11 SP1 with Pacemaker + DRBD + XEN installed with the latest patches.

Here’s the drbd.conf:
global {
usage-count yes;
}
common {
protocol C;
disk {
on-io-error detach;

fencing resource-only;

    fencing resource-and-stonith;

}
syncer {

}
net {
allow-two-primaries; # Enable this after initial testing

after-sb-0pri discard-zero-changes;
after-sb-1pri discard-secondary;
after-sb-2pri disconnect;
}

startup {

become-primary-on both;

#}
handlers {

}
}
resource vmsvn {

meta-disk internal;
on xm01 {

}
on xm02 {

}
}

resource srvsvn1 {

meta-disk internal;
on xm01 {

on xm02 {

}
}

resource srvsvn2 {

meta-disk internal;
on xm01 {

on xm02 {

}

resource vmconfig {

on xm02 {

}

Here’s what I do:

  1. xm01 currently has the VMSVN vm machine. I run “rcnetwork stop” on xm01
  2. xm02 stoniths xm01 as it should
  3. VMSVN (vm machine) fails over xm02
  4. xm01 is shut down (not reboot… why?)
  5. I manually start xm01
  6. xm01 becomes online
  7. VMSVN shuts down properly and starts on xm01

Any ideas why the virtual machine stop and starts again on the first node? I don’t have any stickiness!

Regards,
Daniel

Daniel,

we’ve been experiencing resource allocation between pacemaker nodes, too (SLES11SP1HAE), and got around that by setting

Yes, “INFINITY” is a bit rude… but “5” didn’t catch and since we’ve had no downsides so far, we just left it at the first successfully tested value :wink:

Regards,
Jens
