NAME
/etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf - Cluster configuration file for the o2cb cluster stack.
SYNOPSIS
The cluster layout of the o2cb cluster stack is specified in /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf. It
lists the name of the cluster, the nodes comprising that cluster and its heartbeat
regions. The cluster stack expects this file to be the same on all nodes in that cluster.
This file should be populated using the o2cb(8) cluster configuration utility. A sample of
the same is shown in the example section.
DESCRIPTION
The configuration file is divided into three types of stanzas, each with a list of
parameters and values. The three stanza types are cluster, node and heartbeat. While a
configuration file can store definitions of multiple clusters, the o2cb cluster stack
allows only one cluster to be active at any one time. The name of this active cluster is
stored in /etc/sysconfig/o2cb [o2cb.sysconfig(5)].
The cluster stanza specifies the name of the cluster, number of nodes and the heartbeat
mode. The cluster name can include up to 16 alphanumeric characters [0-9A-Za-z]. No
special characters are allowed.
┌───────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│Parameters │ Description │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│node_count │ Number of nodes in the cluster │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│heartbeat_mode │ local or global heartbeat │
├───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│name │ Cluster name (up to 16 alphanumeric chars [0-9A-Za-z]) │
└───────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The node stanza specifies the node name that is part of the cluster alongwith its IPv4
address, port and node number. The node name must match the hostname. The domain name is
not required. For example, appserver1.company.com can be appserver1. The IPv4 address need
not be the one associated with that hostname. As in, any valid IPv4 address on that node
can be used. The o2cb cluster stack will not attempt to match the node name (hostname)
with the specified IPv4 address. A low-latency private interconnect address is recommended
for best performance.
┌───────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│Parameters │ Description │
├───────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ip_port │ IPv4 port │
├───────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ip_address │ IPv4 address (private interconnect recommended) │
├───────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│number │ Node number (0 - 254) │
├───────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│name │ Node name (hostname without the domain name) │
├───────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│cluster │ Cluster name (should match the name in the cluster stanza) │
└───────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The heartbeat stanza specifies the global heartbeat region UUIDs. A cluster can have up to
32 heartbeat regions. This is an optional stanza and is only required if the global
heartbeat mode is enabled. In other words, the regions are only used if heartbeat_mode =
global is in the cluster stanza. If not, this stanza is ignored.
┌───────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│Parameters │ Description │
├───────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│region │ Heartbeat region UUID │
├───────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│cluster │ Cluster name (should match the name in the cluster stanza) │
└───────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
While manual editing is not recommended, users doing so must follow the format strictly.
The stanza should start at the first column and end with a colon. The parameters must
start after a tab. A blank line must demarcate each stanza. Care should be taken to avoid
stray white-spaces.
EXAMPLE
The example below illustrates populating a cluster.conf with a cluster called webcluster,
having 3 nodes and 3 global heartbeat regions, using the o2cb(8) utility.
$ o2cb add-cluster webcluster
$ o2cb add-node webcluster node7 --ip 192.168.0.107 --number 7
$ o2cb add-node webcluster node6 --ip 192.168.0.106 --number 6
$ o2cb add-node webcluster node10 --ip 192.168.0.110 --number 10
$ o2cb add-heartbeat webcluster /dev/sdg1
$ o2cb add-heartbeat webcluster /dev/sdk1
$ o2cb add-heartbeat webcluster /dev/sdh1
$ o2cb heartbeat-mode webcluster global
$ o2cb list-cluster webcluster
heartbeat:
region = 77D95EF51C0149D2823674FCC162CF8B
cluster = webcluster
