Good job making This article shows how to setup a OpenVZ high availability (HA) cluster using the data replication software DRBD and the cluster manager Heartbeat. In this example the two machines building the cluster run on CentOS 4.3. The article also shows how to do kernel updates in the cluster, including necessary steps like recompiling of new DRBD userspace tools. For this purpose, kernel 2.6.8-022stab078.10 (containing DRBD module 0.7.17) is used as initial kernel version, and kernel 2.6.8-022stab078.14 (containing DRBD module 0.7.20) as updated kernel version. <b>Update:</b> this howto currently does not describe details on OpenVZ Kernel 2.6.18, which contains DRBD version 8.*. Meanwhile, some hints on using OpenVZ Kernel 2.6.18 with DRBD 8 can be found in [http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=3213&start=0& this thread in the forum]. Additional information about clustering of virtual machines can be found in the following paper: [http://www.linuxtag.org/2006/fileadmin/linuxtag/dvd/12080-paper.pdf (PDF, 145K)] Some other additional information can be found in the documentation of the Thomas-Krenn.AG cluster (The author of this howto is working in the cluster development there, that is the reason why he was able to write this howto :-). The full documentation with interesting illustrations is currently only [http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/service-support/knowledge-center/cluster/documentation.html available in German]:  An excellent presentation and overview by Werner Fischer, Thomas-Krenn.AG is available here http://www.profoss.eu/index.php/main/content/download/355/3864/file/werner-fischer.pdf.  == Prerequisites ==The OpenVZ kernel already includes the DRBD module. The DRBD userspace tools and the cluster manager Heartbeat must be provided seperately. As the API version of the DRBD userspace tools must exactly match the API version of the module, compile them yourself. Also compile Heartbeat yourself, as at the time of this writing the CentOS extras repository only contained an old CVS version of Heartbeat. On a hardware node for production use there should not be any application that is not really needed for running OpenVZ (any things which are not needed by OpenVZ should run in a VE for security reasons). As a result, compile DRBD and Heartbeat on another machine running CentOS 4.3 (in this example I used a virtual machine on a VMware Server). === Compiling Heartbeat ===Heartbeat version 1.2.* has successfully been used in a lot of two-node-clusters around the world. As the codebase used in version 1.2.* is in production use for many years now, the code is very stable. At the time of writing, Heartbeat version 1.2.4 is the current version of the 1.2.* branch. Get the tar.gz of the current version of the 1.2.* branch from http://linux-ha.org/download/index.html, at the time of this writing this is http://linux-ha.org/download/heartbeat-1.2.4.tar.gz. Use rpmbuild to build the package:<pre>rpmbuild -ta heartbeat-1.2.4.tar.gz</pre>After that, you find four rpm packes in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 (heartbeat-1.2.4-1.i386.rpm, heartbeat-ldirectord-1.2.4-1.i386.rpm, heartbeat-pils-1.2.4-1.i386.rpm, heartbeat-stonith-1.2.4-1.i386.rpm). In this example only heartbeat-1.2.4-1.i386.rpm, heartbeat-pils-1.2.4-1.i386.rpm, and heartbeat-stonith-1.2.4-1.i386.rpm are needed. === Compiling DRBD userspace tools ===When compiling the DRBD userspace tools, you have to take care to take the version that matches the DRBD version that is included in the OpenVZ kernel you want to use. If you are unsure about the version, do the following steps while running the OpenVZ kernel that you want to use on a test machine (I used another virtual machine on a VMware server to try this):<pre>[root@testmachine ~]# cat /proc/versionLinux version 2.6.8-022stab078.10 (root@rhel4-32) (gcc version 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) #1 Wed Jun 21 12:01:20 MSD 2006[root@testmachine ~]# modprobe drbd[root@testmachine ~]# cat /proc/drbdversion: 0.7.17 (api:77/proto:74)SVN Revision: 2093 build by phil@mescal, 2006-03-06 15:04:12 0: cs:Unconfigured 1: cs:Unconfigured[root@testmachine ~]# rmmod drbd[root@testmachine ~]#</pre>Here the version of the DRBD module is 0.7.17. So the userspace tools for 0.7.17 are neccessary. Back on the buildmachine, do the following to create the rpm:<pre>[root@buildmachine ~]# yum install kernel-devel gcc bison flexSetting up Install ProcessSetting up repositoriesReading repository metadata in from local filesParsing package install argumentsNothing to do[root@buildmachine ~]# tar xfz drbd-0.7.17.tar.gz[root@buildmachine ~]# cd drbd-0.7.17[root@buildmachine drbd-0.7.17]# make rpm[...]You have now:-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 288728 Jul 30 10:40 dist/RPMS/i386/drbd-0.7.17-1.i386.rpm-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 518369 Jul 30 10:40 dist/RPMS/i386/drbd-km-2.6.9_34.0.2.EL-0.7.17-1.i386.rpm[root@buildmachine drbd-0.7.17]#</pre>Note that in this way the kernel-devel from CentOS is used, but this does not matter as the created drbd-km rpm will not be used (the DRBD kernel module is already included in OpenVZ kernel). If the kernel-devel package is not the same version as the kernel package that is currently running, it is possible to execute 'make rpm KDIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-34.0.2.EL-i686/' to directly point to the kernel sources. == Installing the two nodes ==Install the two machines in the same way as you would install them for a normal OpenVZ installation, but do not create a filesystem for the /vz. This filesystem will be installed later on on top of DRBD.{| class="wikitable"|+'''Example installation configuration'''!

Update grub configuration to use the OpenVZ kernel by default. Disable starting of OpenVZ on system boot on both nodes (OpenVZ will be started and stopped by Heartbeat):<pre>[root@ovz-node1 ~]# chkconfig vz off[root@ovz-node1 ~]# </pre>Then reboot both machines. == Setting up DRBD == '''On each of the two nodes create a partition that acts as underlying DRBD device.''' The partitions should have exactly the same size (I created a 10 GB partition hda3 using fdisk on each node for this example). Note that it might be necessary to reboot the machines to re-read the partition table. Install the rpm of the DRBD userspace tools on both nodes:<pre>[root@ovz-node1 ~]# rpm -ihv drbd-0.7.17-1.i386.rpmPreparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:drbd ########################################### [100%][root@ovz-node1 ~]#</pre>Then create the drbd.conf configuration file and copy it to /etc/drbd.conf on both nodes. Below is the example configuration file that is used in this article:<pre>resource r0 { protocol C; incon-degr-cmd "echo '!DRBD! pri on incon-degr' | wall ; sleep 60 ; halt -f";  startup { degr-wfc-timeout 120; }  net { on-disconnect reconnect; }  disk { on-io-error detach; }  syncer { rate 30M; group 1; al-extents 257; }  on ovz-node1 { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/hda3; address 192.168.255.1:7788; meta-disk internal; }  on ovz-node2 { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/hda3; address 192.168.255.2:7788; meta-disk internal; } }</pre>Start DRBD on both nodes:<pre>[root@ovz-node1 ~]# /etc/init.d/drbd startStarting DRBD resources: [ d0 s0 n0 ].[root@ovz-node1 ~]# </pre>Then check the status of /proc/drbd:<pre>[root@ovz-node1 ~]# cat /proc/drbdversion: 0.7.17 (api:77/proto:74)SVN Revision: 2093 build by phil@mescal, 2006-03-06 15:04:12 0: cs:Connected st:Secondary/Secondary ld:Inconsistent ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0[root@ovz-node1 ~]#</pre>Both nodes are now Secondary and Inconsistent. The latter is because the underlying storage is not yet in-sync, and DRBD has no way to know whether you want the initial sync from ovz-node1 to ovz-node2, or ovz-node2 to ovz-node1. As there is no data below it yet, it does not matter. To start the sync from ovz-node1 to ovz-node2, do the following on ovz-node1:<pre>[root@ovz-node1 ~]# drbdadm -- --do-what-I-say primary all[root@ovz-node1 ~]# cat /proc/drbdversion: 0.7.17 (api:77/proto:74)SVN Revision: 2093 build by phil@mescal, 2006-03-06 15:04:12 0: cs:SyncSource st:Primary/Secondary ld:Consistent ns:627252 nr:0 dw:0 dr:629812 al:0 bm:38 lo:640 pe:0 ua:640 ap:0 [=>..................] sync'ed: 6.6% (8805/9418)M finish: 0:04:51 speed: 30,888 (27,268) K/sec[root@ovz-node1 ~]#</pre>As you see, DRBD syncs with about 30 MB per second, as we told it so in /etc/drbd.conf.

Before putting the cluster in production it is very important to test the cluster. Because of all the possible different kinds of hardware that you may have, you may encounter problems when a failover is necessary. And as the cluster is about high availability, such problems must be found before the cluster is used for production. Here is one example: The e1000 driver that is included in kernels < 2.6.12 has a problem when a cable gets unplugged while broadcast packets are still being sent out on that interface. When using broadcast communication in Heartbeat on a crossover link, this fills up the transmit ring buffer on the adapter (the buffer is full after about 8 minutes after the cable got unplugged). Using unicast communication in Heartbeat fixes the problem for example. Details see: http://www.osdl.org/developer_bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=699#c22 Without testing you may not be aware of such problems and may face them when the cluster is in production and a failover would be necessary. So test your cluster carefully! Possible tests can include:* power outage test of active node* power outage test of passive node* network connection outage test of eth0 of active node* network connection outage test of eth0 of passive node* network connection outage test of crossover network connection* ... As mentioned above, some problems only arise after an outage lasts longer than some minutes. So do the tests also with a duration of >1h for example. Before you start to test, build a test plan. Some valueable information on that can be found in chapter 3 "Testing a highly available Tivoli Storage Manager cluster environment" of the Redbook ''IBM Tivoli Storage Manager in a Clustered Environment'', see http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246679.html. In this chapter it is mentioned that the experience of the authoring team is that the testing phase must be at least two times the total implementation time for the cluster. == Before installing kernel updates: testing again == New OpenVZ kernel often include driver updates. This kernel for examples includes an update of the e1000 module: http://openvz.org/news/updates/kernel-022stab078.21 To avoid to overlook problems with new components (such as a newer kernel), it is necessary to re-do the tests mentioned above. But as the cluster is already in production, a second cluster (test cluster) with the same hardware as the main cluster is needed. Use this test cluster to test updates of the kernel or main OS updates for the hardware node before putting them on the production cluster. I know this is not an easytask, as it is time-consuming and needs additional hardware only for testing. But when really business-critical applications are running on the cluster, it is very good to now that the cluster works fine also with new updates installed on the hardware node. In many cases a dedicated test cluster and the time efford for the testing of updates may cause too much costs. If you cannot do such test of updates, keep in mind that over time (when you must install security updates of the OS or the kernel) you have a cluster that you have not tested in this configuration. If you need a tested cluster (also with tested kernel updates), you may take a look on this Virtuozzo cluster: http://www.thomas-krenn.com/cluster == How to do OpenVZ kernel updates when it contains a new DRBD version == As mentioned above, it is important to use the correct version of the DRBD userspace tools. When an OpenVZ kernel contains a new DRBD version, it is important that the DRBD API version of the userspace tools matches the API version of the DRBD module that is included in the OpenVZ kernel. The API versions can be found at http://svn.drbd.org/drbd/branches/drbd-0.7/ChangeLog. The best way is to always use the version of the DRBD userspace tools that matches the version of the DRBD module that is included in the OpenVZ kernel. In this example the initial cluster installation contained OpenVZ kernel 2.6.8-022stab078.10, which contains the DRBD module 0.7.17. The steps below show the update procedure to OpenVZ kernel 2.6.8-022stab078.14, which contains the DRBD module 0.7.20.In the first step build the DRBD userspace tools version 0.7.20 on your buildmachine. Then stop Heartbeat and DRBD on the passive node (hint: you can use 'cat /proc/drbd' to get a hint which node is active and which one is passive):<pre>[root@ovz-node2 ~]# cat /proc/drbdversion: 0.7.17 (api:77/proto:74)SVN Revision: 2093 build by phil@mescal, 2006-03-06 15:04:12 0: cs:Connected st:Secondary/Primary ld:Consistent ns:60 nr:136 dw:196 dr:97 al:3 bm:3 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0[root@ovz-node2 ~]# /etc/init.d/heartbeat stopStopping High-Availability services: [ OK ][root@ovz-node2 ~]# cat /proc/drbdversion: 0.7.17 (api:77/proto:74)SVN Revision: 2093 build by phil@mescal, 2006-03-06 15:04:12 0: cs:Connected st:Secondary/Primary ld:Consistent ns:60 nr:136 dw:196 dr:97 al:3 bm:3 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0[root@ovz-node2 ~]# /etc/init.d/drbd stopStopping all DRBD resources.[root@ovz-node2 ~]# cat /proc/drbdcat: /proc/drbd: No such file or directory[root@ovz-node2 ~]#</pre>Then install the new kernel and the DRBD userspace tools on this node:<pre>[root@ovz-node2 ~]# rpm -ihv ovzkernel-2.6.8-022stab078.14.i686.rpmwarning: ovzkernel-2.6.8-022stab078.14.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID a7a1d4b6Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:ovzkernel ########################################### [100%][root@ovz-node2 ~]# rpm -Uhv drbd-0.7.20-1.i386.rpmPreparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:drbd ########################################### [100%]/sbin/serviceStopping all DRBD resources.[root@ovz-node2 ~]#</pre>Now set the new kernel as default kernel in /etc/grub.conf and then reboot this node. After the reboot, the new DRBD version is visible:<pre>[root@ovz-node2 ~]# cat /proc/drbdversion: 0.7.20 (api:79/proto:74)SVN Revision: 2260 build by phil@mescal, 2006-07-04 15:18:57 0: cs:Connected st:Secondary/Primary ld:Consistent ns:0 nr:28 dw:28 dr:0 al:0 bm:2 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0[root@ovz-node2 ~]#</pre> To update the other node, switch-over the services to make the current active node the passive node.

Some hints on using OpenVZ Kernel 2.6.18 with DRBD 8 can be found in [http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=3213&start=0& this thread in the forum]. The following scripts are written by Thomas Kappelmueller. They should be placed at /root/live-switchover/ on both nodes. To activate the scripts execute the following commands on both nodes:<pre>[root@ovz-node1 ~]# ln -s /root/live-switchover/openvz /etc/init.d/[root@ovz-node1 ~]# ln -s /root/live-switchover/live_switchover.sh /root/bin/[root@ovz-node1 ~]# </pre> It is also necessary to replace <code>vz</code> by an adjusted initscript (<code>openvz</code> in this example).
