I have several heartbeat clusters running Centos 5 and heartbeat 2.1.4. We have been struggling to manage configuration updates to these clusters without losing service - particularly when we are adding or removing ip addresses. After experimentation I found the "cibadmin -R" command. Then the following post led me to a method that seems to work:
http://oss.clusterlabs.org/pipermail/pacemaker/2009-June/001992.html So now to make changes to /etc/ha.d/haresource take effect online I do the following: /usr/lib/heartbeat/haresources2cib.py --stdout >/etc/ha.d/cib.xml cibadmin -Q >/etc/ha.d/cib-run.xml # get the admin_epoch from cib-run.xml and put one higher epoch into our cib.xml ADMIN_EPOCH=`perl -ne \ '/admin_epoch="(\d+)"/ && do {print $1+1,"\n"; exit}' \ /etc/ha.d/cib-run.xml` export ADMIN_EPOCH perl -pi -e 's/admin_epoch="\d+"/admin_epoch="$ENV{ADMIN_EPOCH}"/' \ /etc/ha.d/cib.xml # Load the new cib cibadmin -R -x /etc/ha.d/cib.xml Is this procedure correct? I was surprised I couldn't find any discussion of this process online. If I was using a newer pacemaker would the process be simpler?
