I currently have a cluster set up using pacemaker/corosync on two CentOS 6 
boxes (fully updated). It has been requested that I "upgrade" the boxes to 
CentOS 7 (full rebuild on separate machine, obviously). What is it going to 
take to migrate the cluster with minimal downtime?

The cluster is currently a mix of ipaddr2 and lsb type resources, with a couple 
of other built-in ocf types (redis, for example). Presumably the IPAddr and 
redis resources would move across no problem, but the lsb type resources would 
need to be converted to systemd resources. Given that (and perhaps other 
things?) would I be correct in assuming that I will not be able to simply add 
the new CentOS 7 box to the existing CentOS 6 cluster and have the config and 
everything move across automatically?

If I do need to build a new CentOS cluster, how can I get it fully set up with 
all the resources, but NOT let it start anything until I perform the cutover? 
Obviously it would be a bad thing for both the CentOS 7 box and the existing 
CentOS 6 boxes to have the same IP's! Can I copy *any* of the config from the 
existing CentOS 6 boxes, or do I have to fully re-create all the resources from 
scratch on the CentOS 7 box? I'm assuming that initially having a "single node" 
cluster (until I can rebuild the other CentOS 6 box to CentOS 7) won't be an 
issue.

Thanks for any input you can provide!
