Re: [Linux-HA] heartbeat

2015-01-20 Thread Ron Croonenberg

Hi Dimitri,

yes there are 4 pairs, but they are all active.  When a node fails,  the 
other one in the pair just takes everything over.
A different HA is not an option, it has to be heartbeat.  I noticed 
something called ethmonitor, I can probably notice an IB connection with 
it (it has ipoib on it)

A cluster I am using has 8 nodes and want to do fail over in pairs of
two.  in the ha.cf file do I mention all the hosts or just the host and
it's fail over, per pair?


Do you have 4 separate active-passive pairs or a cluster of 8 nodes? If
it's the latter, I think you want pacemaker, not heartbeat. Dunno what
pacemaker might have for monitoring an IB connection, with heartbeat R1
I'd do something like grep for LinkUp in the output of ibstat.
