Hello,

since I had to change my old “heartbeat v1” setup to an more modern Corosync+Pacemaker setup, because “heartbeat v1” does not support systemd (it first looks like it is working, but it fails on service start/stops), I want to share a simple setup:

• Two nodes (node1-1 and node1-2)
• Active/Passive setup
• Shared IP (here: 123.123.123.123/24)
• Internal network on eth1 (here: 192.168.99.0/24)
• DRBD shared storage
• LVM on top of DRBD
• Multiple services, depending also on the DRBD/LVM storage

First you have to activate the jessie-backports repository, because the cluster stack is not available/broken in Debian Jessie. Install the required packages with:

apt-get install -t jessie-backports libqb0 fence-agents pacemaker corosync pacemaker-cli-utils crmsh drbd-utils

After that configure your DRBD and LVM (VG+LV) on it (there are enough tutorials for it).

Then deploy this configuration to /etc/corosync/corosync.conf:

totem {
version: 2
token: 3000
token_retransmits_before_loss_const: 10
clear_node_high_bit: yes
crypto_cipher: none
crypto_hash: none
transport: udpu
interface {
ringnumber: 0
bindnetaddr: 192.168.99.0
}
}

logging {
to_logfile: yes
logfile: /var/log/corosync/corosync.log
debug: off
timestamp: on
logger_subsys {
subsys: QUORUM
debug: off
}
}

quorum {
provider: corosync_votequorum
two_node: 1
wait_for_all: 1
}

nodelist {
node {
ring0_addr: node1-1
}
node {
ring0_addr: node1-2
}
}

Both nodes require a passwordless keypair, which is copied to the another node, so that you can ssh from one to each other.

Then you can start with crm configure:

The last (bold marked) lines made me some headache. In short they define that the DRBD device on the active node has to be the primary one and that it is required to start the “APCLUSTER” on the host, since the LVM, filesystem and services require to access its data.

Just a short copy paste howto for an simple use case with not so much deep explanaitions..
