[Pacemaker] CoroSync's UDPu transport for public IP addresses?

[Dmitry Koterov]

Oh, seems I've found the solution! At least two mistakes was in my
corosync.conf (BTW logs did not say about any errors, so my conclusion is
based on my experiments only).

1. nodelist.node MUST contain only IP addresses. No hostnames! They simply
do not work, "crm status" shows no nodes. And no warnings are in logs
regarding this.
2. quorum {} MUST NOT be empty (in the config sample it IS empty): in my
case, the following fixed the problem together with (1):

quorum {
    provider: corosync_votequorum
    two_node: 1
}

So, below is my final corosync.conf. Now "crm status" shows "Online: [
node1 node2 ]", UDPu transport is used, no virtual network exists at all
(only public IP addresses are specified in corosync.conf).

========================

# This seems to be a really WORKING configuration.
# Ubuntu 14.04, corosync 2.3.3, pacemaker 1.1.10
totem {
    version: 2
    cluster_name: cluster
    crypto_cipher: none
    crypto_hash: none
    clear_node_high_bit: yes
    interface {
        ringnumber: 0
        bindnetaddr: <public-ip-address-of-the-current-machine>
        mcastport: 5405
        ttl: 1
    }
    transport: udpu
    heartbeat_failures_allowed: 3
}
logging {
    fileline: off
    to_logfile: no
    to_syslog: yes
    debug: on
    timestamp: off
    logger_subsys {
        subsys: QUORUM
        debug: off
    }
}
nodelist {
  node {
    ring0_addr: <public-ip-address-of-the-first-machine>
  }
  node {
    ring0_addr: <public-ip-address-of-the-second-machine>
  }
}
quorum {
    provider: corosync_votequorum
    two_node: 1
}
