Hello,<br>
<br>
We've also setup a fairly large cluster - 24 nodes / 348 resources
(pacemaker 1.1.12, corosync 1.4.7) - and pacemaker 1.1.12 is
definitely the minimum version you'll want, thanks to changes on how
the CIB is handled.<br>
<br>
If you're going to handle a large number (~several hundreds) of
resources as well, you may need to concern yourself with the CIB
size as well.<br>
<br>
You may want to have a look at pp.17-18 of the document I wrote to
describre our setup:

<br>
Currently, I would consider that with 24 nodes / 348 resources, we
are close to the limit of what our cluster can handle, the
bottleneck being CPU(core) power for CIB/CRM handling. Our "worst
performing nodes" (out of the 24 in the cluster) are Xeon E7-2830 @
2.13GHz.<br>
The main issue we currently face in when a DC is taken out and a new
one must be elected: CPU goes 100% for several tens of seconds (even
minutes), during which the cluster is totally unresponsive.
Fortunately, resources themselves just seat tight and remain
available (I can't say about those who would need to be migrated
because being colocated with the DC; we manually avoid that
situation when performing maintenance that may affect the DC)<br>
<br>
I'm looking forwards to migrate to corosync 2+ (there are some
backports available for debian/Jessie) and see it this would allow
to push the limit further. Unfortunately, I can't say for sure as I
have only a limited understanding of how Pacemaker/Corosync work and
where CPU is bond to become a bottleneck.<br>
<br>
'Hope it can help,<br>

Pacemaker is currently 1.1.12 and corosync 1.4.7 on CentOS
6. There were<br>
major improvements in speed with later versions of
pacemaker.<br>
