[ClusterLabs] Setting n+1 cluster steps

[Sayed Mujtaba]

Hi ,

Thank you very much  for the information ..

In each of my nodes the data base copy will be different  (used by some application)  . In case of failover of one node I want it to failover to other node with same data base copy  from failed node .
Is it possible with pace maker to do achieve this ?

Thanks

Every cluster is unique, so Clusters From Scratch just gives you an example to show the basic workings. You're probably using a high-level configuration tool such as crm or pcs; refer to its documentation for how to add nodes.

Usually it's as simple as

   pcs cluster node add $NODENAME --start

to add a node to an existing cluster. Every situation is different however, so you'll have to research and experiment. If you configured two_node in corosync.conf, or no-quorum-policy=ignore in Pacemaker, you'll want to remove that when going above 2 nodes.

For N+1/N+M you just add all your nodes to the cluster, and Pacemaker will host your resources on whichever nodes are available, automatically moving them if one goes down or comes up. There's no need to specify one or more nodes as "backup", but if you really want to (perhaps because one node is slower than the rest), you can use location constraints to prefer any node more or less than the others.

Again, refer to your configuration tool's documentation for how to configure constraints etc., but if you want a lower-level view of how it all works, see Pacemaker Explained:
