Thanks for you response, some comments:
1) So, if we cannot load a persistent configuration after a restart of the all nodes in the cluster, how does one automatically configure an (rebooted) unattended cluster with a known set of resources? Is it expected that a person will reconfigure a cluster if it were to all nodes in the cluster were to reboot? 2) If I'm trying to reduce the DC election time during a complete cluster reboot, so how can I load the dc-deadtime before a DC is elected? 3) Thanks, that's was the problem 4) I'm sure your method will work, but the syntax that I used is right out of the documentation for pacemaker (example 6.16 of Pacemaker 1.0, Configuration explained"), so I don't see what's wrong with it. Regardless, I'll use your method. -Frank ________________________________ From: hj lee [mailto:kerd...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 4:12 PM To: pacemaker@oss.clusterlabs.org Subject: Re: [Pacemaker] getting started 1) Is there a way to start pacemaker and specify an xml file as the startup configuration? Right now, I start openais/pacemaker, wait for DC election, then run cibadmin to load the file. That's fine for now, but I want to automate this eventually. I don't think it's possible. 2) Is there any way to shorten the time for DC election? I was hoping to be able to specify a cluster-delay shorter than 60s by loading an xml file at startup, and thereby shorten this election time. crm configure property dc-deadtime=10s 3) I can't seem to specify either an rsc_defaults or op_defaults section in an xml file. When I try to specify rsc_defaults for instance, syslog shows: ov 18 08:57:57 ubuntu_1 cibadmin: [27658]: info: Invoked: cibadmin --replace --xml-file 2rcordered_1_sticky.xml Nov 18 08:57:57 ubuntu_1 cib: [27081]: ERROR: Extra element rsc_defaults in interleave Nov 18 08:57:57 ubuntu_1 cib: [27081]: ERROR: Element configuration failed to validate content Nov 18 08:57:57 ubuntu_1 cib: [27081]: ERROR: Element cib failed to validate content Nov 18 08:57:57 ubuntu_1 cib: [27081]: WARN: cib_perform_op: Updated CIB does not validate against pacemaker-1.0 schema/dtd Nov 18 08:57:57 ubuntu_1 cib: [27081]: WARN: cib_diff_notify: Update (client: cibadmin, call:2): 0.7.3 -> 3.29.1 (Update does not conform to the configured schema/DTD) As the log suggested, the xml does not comform to pacemaker RelaxNG schema. If you look /usr/share/pacemaker/pacemaker-1.0.rng, the rsc_defaults requires element name "meta_attributes". So please change it to this: <rsc_defaults> <meta_attributes id="testid"> <nvpair id="rsc-default-1" name="resource-stickiness" value="100"/> </meta_attributes> </rsc_defaults> 4) I'm trying to specify two collocated resources that don't have any startup dependency. When I use the syntax: <constraints> <rsc_colocation id="coloc-1" score="INFINITY"> <resource_set id="collocated-set-1" sequential="false"> <resource_ref id="eyes"/> <resource_ref id="clock"/> </resource_set> </rsc_colocation> </constraints> It does not seem correct. Please use crm configure command to configure the cluster rather than xml until you you become very famillar with it. crm configure colocation coloc-1 inf: clock eyes Isn't it much simpler? Thanks hj
