Greetings,

I've configured HA clusters for some time and I find myself wanting to do this on stateless machines (PXE booted RAMdisk OS image). I hear that you cannot run Pacemaker/Corosync on stateless pairs but I haven't heard exactly why.

It seems to me that if I have an OS image (PXE/RAMdisk) that contains all the proper packages, a shared corosync key and config, and a fully configured cib file in the proper place I should be able to boot two independent machines off of that image with the configured IPs and hostnames and get a quorum just like a stateful pair booting up.

If one stateless node gets fenced, the survivor has the current CIB and resources, continues to function. If the fenced node reboots it has the original cib and when it rejoins the cluster the surviving node updates the cib on the newly joined node. If both get fenced or otherwise powered down, they both reboot with the original cib that defines resources and locations.

What am I missing? This is for a simple two node HA cluster.

Thanks...
