Many thanks for the excellent answer ,
Ken after investigation of the log files :
In our environment we have two drbd partitions one for customer_vms and
on for sigma_vms
For the customer_vms the active node is node2 and for the sigma_vms the
active node is node1 .
[root at sgw-01 drbd.d]# drbdadm status
customer_vms role:Secondary
disk:UpToDate
sgw-02 role:Primary
peer-disk:UpToDate
sigma_vms role:Primary
disk:UpToDate
sgw-02 role:Secondary
peer-disk:UpToDate
when i create a new VM *i can't force the resource creation* to take
place on a specific node , the cluster places the resource
spontaneously on one of the two nodes (if the node happens to be the
drbd Primary then is ok, else the pacemaker raise a failure fro the node) .
My solution is the following :
pcs resource create windows_VM_res VirtualDomain
hypervisor="qemu:///system"
config="/opt/sigma_vms/xml_definitions/windows_VM.xml"
(the cluster arbitrarily try to place the above resource on node 2 who
is currently the secondary for the corresponding partition. Personally
i assume that the VirtualDomain agent should be able to read the correct
disk location from the xml defintion and then try to find the correct
drbd node)
pcs constraint colocation add windows_VM_res with StorageDRBD_SigmaVMs
INFINITY
pcs constraint order start StorageDRBD_SigmaVMs_rers then start windows_VM
pcs resource cleanup windows_VM_res
After the above steps the VM is located on the correct node and
everything is ok.
*Is my approach correct ?*
Your opinion would be valuable,
Sincerely
