Hello Michael,

can you do the following command on both and paste the result:


cat /proc/drbd


If it's "secondary/secondary" then do drbdadmin primary mysql on one of them.


Regards

Fabrice

I've been trying to cluster together two Packetfence 6.4 servers together and have been getting nothing but trouble in my attempts. I'm following the Clustering guide word for word but can't seem to get it to work. Everything goes fine up until the point of finalizing the DRBD portion. When I create the ext4 filesystem for /dev/drbd0 and then try to mount it at /var/lib/mysql as per the guide, it mounts in read only mode. I cannot move my SQL files back into the folder nor can I write anything to it. I've tried remounting the drive as read-write but I get an error saying the drive is write protected.


I've found that a way around this problem is to instead make the /dev/drbd0 device as an ext3 filesystem. I can then move my SQL backup files back into the mysql folder and restart the mariadb process. However, at this point everything breaks on me. I can no longer access the admin gui for packetfence and I get fatal errors in the logs saying "ERROR: Could not write namespace resource ::switches_list to L2 cache!" and "ERROR: Couldn't connect to MySQL database to access L2. This is a major problem!"


When this first happened I figured it would all be fixed once I finish all the steps in the cluster guide. But I've now done everything I'm supposed to in the guide and it's still not working properly. The PCS cluster is set up, I can see my master and slave server in the cluster and there are no errors when I run "pcs status."


However I'm still not able to log into the admin gui anymore, it tells me I'm using the wrong user name and password. I tried restarting the packetfence service and now it won't start at all anymore. I've been working at this for the past few days and have had no progress. Both servers are virtual machines so I can revert to older snapshots and try everything in the guide multiple times but each time I attempt to set up clustering everything goes wrong.


I'm convinced it has something to do with DRBD and mounting in the /var/lib/mysql folder because that's the point where the errors start flowing in. Any help would be appreciated.
