Setting up DRBD in Pacemaker clusters on Fedora 13

Andrew just published an update to his Clusters from Scratch documentation that contains a step-by-step guide for initially setting up DRBD based cluster resources on Fedora 13.

Yes, that’s the Fedora release with Linux 2.6.33, so no more installing DRBD kernel modules.

    Hi Florian/Andrew

    Thanks for the FC 13 guide.

    Some issues though:

    On 2 FC13’s (yum upgrade all until 12-07-2010)

    – in active/passive Apache part
    The crm command ” configure primitive ocf:linbit:drbd WebData params drbd_resource=my-resource op monitor interval=60s

    produces

    syntax in primitive: WebData params drbd_resource=my-resource op monitor interval=60s

    This DID work in the FC11 guide i followed on 2 fc11’s. I did copy past the revelant part form the fc11 cib.xml and it works after a cibadmin -R -x cib.xml import on fc13.

    – in active/active gsf2 part

    configure primitive WebFS ocf:heartbeat:Filesystem params device=”/dev/drbd/by-res/my-seperate-gsf2-resource” directory=”/var/www/html” fstype=”gfs2”

    produces:

    codec can’t decode byte 0xe2 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

    Can this be caused because its still syncing from drbdadm create-md my-seperate-gsf2-resource (and drbdadm — –overwrite-data-of-peer primary my-seperate-gsf2-resource)

    Question
    Does de folder /var/www/html has to be present on /dev/resource-device-used? (includes a created /var/www/html map but unmounted)

    Please reply

    Regards,
    Martijn
