Fencing is must even if multiple heartbeats are configured
Does fencing is must to configure for a 2 nodes HA implemented on RHEL7 with multiple configured heartbeats
Re: Fencing is must even if multiple heartbeats are configured
Yes.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: Fencing is must even if multiple heartbeats are configured
Means we will unable to configure HA without Fencing. I am assuming fencing a prerequisite ?

Re: Fencing is must even if multiple heartbeats are configured
You can use poison pill (sbd devices + watchdog) , or you can use:
The second option is highly unrecommended.The sbd device could be a iSCSI or FC LUN,so fencing is an option even in testing environments.
Code: Select all
pcs property set stonith-enabled=false
Re: Fencing is must even if multiple heartbeats are configured
Do you recommend / suggest any weblink for first option for fencing ?

Re: Fencing is must even if multiple heartbeats are configured
I am always checking the red hat solution.
If I don't miss anything it should be something like:
1.Create FC/iSCSI partition of 2MB and present it (if FC)
2.Login all nodes to the iSCSI target independently (no need to define them in the cluster)
3.Install 'sbd' package.
4.Setup(format) sbd devic via 'pcs'
5.Enable sbd service via 'pcs' (if you don't have hardware watchdog - use 'softdog')
6.Create sbd device via which the fencing will happen.
Note:Poison pill (aka sbd) is available since RHEL7.4 and its derivatives.
Redhat have a free developer subscription which provides many stuff including access to their solution database.If you feel fit,you can take advantage of that.
P.S:There is a very nice HA course on safaribooksonline.com.Author is Sander van Vugt.Safari has a free week trial,so you can subscribe and view the course.
