Hi,
I've setup two server A + B (debian etch) with drbd + heartbeat in
active/passive mode. If the primary server A fails, the shared
storage is mounted on B, the virtual ip A-vip moves to the new primary
B and samba is started by heartbeat. This works well, but I'm not sure
which samba files should be identical on both server. Both have a
dedicated machine account at the moment.
primary: A, 192.168.0.50 (active)
secondary: B, 192.168.0.60 (passive)
cluster/failover: A-vip, 192.168.0.70 (dns name and ip that the
client use to access the
shares)
Should I just kick all samba files on B and sync them with the files
of the primary server A (maybe rsync or inotify, I don't use
drbdlinks....)?
I *think* this would be the necessary directories:
/etc/samba
/var/cache/samba
/var/lib/samba
/var/log/samba
/var/run/samba
/var/spool/samba
I've not set any host specific paramters in smb.conf, I use the
dns alias A-vip and the virtal-ip for the netbios alias and interface
settings.
BTW: the machine account was created for the hostname of the primary
server A, not the DNS alias A-vip, will this lead to a problem?
