Hi,

Apologies for my previous mail, I should have been clearer. I've got a full hb_report now (attached or at http://dx.infernix.net/xen_order.tar.bz2). I'll keep things short and to the point.

I've got a two node heartbeat+pacemaker cluster, using DRBD for shared storage. I have 7 ocf:heartbeat:Xen resources, all configured similar to this:

primitive base ocf:heartbeat:Xen \
        meta target-role="started" is-managed="true" allow-migrate="1" \
        operations $id="base-operations" \
        op monitor interval="10" \
        op start interval="0" timeout="45" \
        op stop interval="0" timeout="300" \
        op migrate_from interval="0" timeout="240" \
        op migrate_to interval="0" timeout="240" \
        params xmfile="/etc/xen/base.cfg" name="base"

The Xen configs use drbd:resource style disks. drbd is configured as per the Xen pages in its documentation. Live migration works fine when migrating manually (in hb_gui). Without an order constraint, it works fine when when putting a node in standby, but it will migrate them all in parallel.

So I searched the mailinglists and found that this is the order that should be used to prevent xen guests starting in parallel (only "start X before Y", nothing else):

order db_before_dbreplica 0: db dbreplica symmetrical=false
order dbreplica_before_core-101 0: dbreplica core-101 symmetrical=false
order core-101_before_core-200 0: core-101 core-200 symmetrical=false
order core-200_before_sysadmin 0: core-200 sysadmin symmetrical=false
order sysadmin_before_edge 0: sysadmin edge symmetrical=false
order edge_before_base 0: edge base symmetrical=false

So I addded these orders. At the start of the log, all guests are on xen-a; both nodes are active. Then I put xen-a on standby, and this is what happens:

Dec 8 03:43:21 xen-b pengine: [32628]: notice: LogActions: Leave resource xen-a-fencing#011(Started xen-b)
notice: LogActions: Stop resource xen-b-fencing#011(xen-a)

notice: LogActions: Move resource dbreplica#011(Started xen-a -> xen-b)
notice: LogActions: Move resource Email_Alerting#011(Started xen-a -> xen-b)


With this order active, the only Xen guest that gets live migrated is db. All the others are stopped and then started.

Two questions:

- How can I make them migrate one after another instead of stopping and starting?

- And how can I then still keep them from starting in parallel with a clean boot (e.g. both nodes freshly booted after a power outage)?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
