Hi all,


I see opensaf has etcd plugins, and a README file that describes installing 
etcd, but I'm not clear on how opensaf actually works with etcd. Has anyone 
made use of  this utility? Are there examples?



Normally, an opensaf controller starts and broadcasts the UDP message to see if 
it can become the active controller. Basically, if it's the only one currently 
in the cluster, it becomes active.



Now, if opensaf is configured to use etcd, does it still broadcast the UDP 
message or does it communicate with etcd and try and get the lock file?

Thus, if it gets the lock file, it becomes active.



If the active controller goes down for some reason, normally, the standby 
becomes active. Now, with etcd, how does this interaction work?

Does the standby still become active and then it has to take ownership of the 
etcd lock file?

Yet, the old active would still own it.



Do I have to write code to bridge the gap between opensaf and etcd, using the 
plugins, or does opensaf already have the code in place to do this interaction 
once etcd is enabled?

Again, some examples would help in the understanding of how opensaf makes use 
of etcd.



Regards,

David
