Hello all. I posted this in the forum and was told to instead post it to the mailing list. My apologies for the redundancy if you have already seen and been irritated by my blatherings.
Thanks. _________________________
I am working on a CentOS clustered LAMP stack and running into problems. I have searched extensively and have come up empty.
Here's my setup:
Two node cluster identical hardware. IBM x226 with RSAII adapters for fencing. Configured for Active/Passive failover - no load balancing. No shared storage - manual rsync of data (shared SSH keys, rsync over SSH, cron job). Single shared IP address
I used luci and ricci to configure the cluster. It's a bit confusing that there's an 'apache' script but you have to use the custom init script. I'm past that though.
The failover function is working when it's kicked off manually from the luci web interface. I can tell it to transfer the services (IP, httpd, msqld) to the secondary server and it works fine.
I run into problems when I attempt to simulate a failure (a pulled network cord for instance). The primary system recognizes the failure, shuts down it's services, attempts to inform the secondary server to take over and then it never does. Here is a log excerpt from a cable pull test:

I have followed the HowTos for setting up the cluster (with the exception of the shared storage) as closely as possible.
Here's what I've already troubleshot:
No IPTables running No SELinux running Hosts file resolves all IP address/host names properly.
I must say that I am less familiar with how all of the cluster components work together. All of the Linux clusters I have built thus far have been heartbeat+mon style clusters.
I'm looking to find out if there is an additional debug layer that I can put in place to get some more detailed information about what is transacting (or not) between the two cluster members.
Many thanks.
