[Ocfs2-users] 2 node OCFS2 clusters

Hi,

 

I have done some more tests today, and I observed the following:

 

Test 1:

node 0 - ifdown eth2

node 0 - OCFS2 filesystem stalls on both nodes

node 1 - Decides to reboot

node 0 - Resumes OCFS2 service (while still off the network) OCFS2
filesystem back online

node 1 - Cannot re-join cluster as node 0 is off the network and has the
fs lock (Transport endpoint error)

node 0 - ifup eth2

node 1 - Re-joins the clusters and re-mounts OCFS2 filesystem.

 

Test 2:

node 1 - ifdown eth2

node 0 - OCFS2 filesystem stalls on both nodes

node 1  - Decides to reboot

node 0 - Resumes OCFS2 service, OCFS2 filesystem back online

node 1 - Boots up, re-joins cluster and re-mounts OCFS2 filesystem.

 

Is this the expected behaviour? And if it is, is there anything we can
do avoid the loss of the OCFS2 filesystems?

 

 

Here's the messages file outputs.

Hi Srini,

 

Thanks for the response.

 

So are the following statements correct:

 

If I stop the networking on node 1, node 0 will continue to allow OCFS2
filesystems to work and not reboot itself. 

 

If I stop the networking on node 0, node 1 (now being the lowest node?)
will continue to allow OCFS2 filesystems to work and not reboot itself.

In both the cases node 0 will survive, because that's the node that has
lowest node number (defined in cluster.conf). This applies to the
scenario where interconnect went down but nodes are healthy and are
heartbeating to the disk.



 

I guess I just need to know if it's possible to have a 2 node OCFS2
cluster that will cope with either one of the nodes dying, and have the
remaining node still provide service.

If node 0 itself panics, reboots then node 1 will survive.



 

Regards,

 

Mark

In a cluster with more than 2 nodes, if a network on one node goes down,
that node will evict itself but other nodes will survive. But in a two
node cluster, the node with lowest node number will survive no mater on
which node network went down.

Hi,

This is my first post here so please be gentle with me.

My question is, can you have a 2 node OCFS2 cluster, disconnect one node
from the network, and have the remaining node continue to function
normally? Currently we have a 2 node cluster and if we stop the NIC that
has the OCFS2 o2cb net connection running on it, the other node will
reboot itself. I have researched having a 2 node OCFS2 cluster but so
far I have been unable to find a clear solution. I have looked at the
FAQ regarding quorum, and my OCFS2 init scripts are enabled etc.

Is this possible, or should we look at alternative solutions?

Mark
