The ha-linux article help me to build a super server, thank you very much. My googling skills have deserted me and i hope you might point me in the right direction for a solution to the following: server1 has the resources and is running fine, i reboot server2 and all seems fine until it comes back up after which it takes over the resources from server1 which i dont want to happen as server1 is fine running the resources for now. I only want server2 to take over the resources when i ask it to or when server1 fails. Where should i start looking?
Take a look at /var/log/syslog and search for heartbeat errors. Possibly the two heartbeat daemons cannot properly communicate with each other?
Hi falco I have checked and confirmed that there are no errors in the syslog facility. The only thing i found was a warning: Nov 18 11:50:11 vm1 heartbeat[4627]: WARN: Late heartbeat: Node 192.168.254.1: interval 10080 ms which did not happen often, about 2 to 3 times a day.
My ha.cf looks like this: logfile /var/log/ha-log logfacility local0 keepalive 1 deadtime 120 warntime 10 udpport 694 bcast eth0 auto_failback off node vm1 node vm2 ping 192.168.254.1 respawn hacluster /usr/lib/heartbeat/ipfail initdead 240 bcast eth1 and the haresources like so: vm1 192.168.254.254 drbddisk::r0 Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/var/lib/vmware/drvmachines::ext3 bind9 server1 server2 server3 server4
