Darn, no Bitcoins, PLEASE?.... - 16tb2Rgn4uDptrEuR94BkhQAZNgfoMj3ug

Hopefully you read through Part 1?

Install Pacemaker and Corosync on SLES 11 SP3 - Postgres streaming - Part1

When starting Corosync, the Corosync scripts should start Pacemaker as well, you can check this with the following in all the nodes


cl1_lb1:/ # ps -ef | grep corosync
root      4064     1  0 07:14 ?        00:00:07 /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S11corosync start

Resource start-up disabled since no STONITH resources have been defined
Now there is a "problem", when verifying Pacemaker, the resources will not start up as STONITH needs to be configured, what is STONITH I hear you ask

STONITH - Shoot The Other Node In The Head
It is important to note that the use of STONITH is highly encouraged, turning it off tells the cluster to simply pretend that failed nodes are safely powered off. Some vendors will even refuse to support clusters that have it disabled.

So what happens with STONITH is that the "faulty" node will be shot in the head by the other nodes, IE power the node down, fence the node etc, for my configuration, I prefer not to use STONITH, so I will disable STONITH.

This is done as below, keep in mind it only has to be done on one node, the configuration is passed down to the other nodes


cl1_lb1:/ # crm_verify -L -V
   error: unpack_resources:     Resource start-up disabled since no STONITH resources have been defined
   error: unpack_resources:     Either configure some or disable STONITH with the stonith-enabled option
   error: unpack_resources:     NOTE: Clusters with shared data need STONITH to ensure data integrity
Errors found during check: config not valid

So, seeing that I want to use Postgres streaming, the next step would be to install Postgres... Install Postgres on both the Master and Slave nodes
Use your favorite installer for this, mine is in /opt/app/pgdata/9.3/, my data base is created on a separate mount point called /pgtablespace
As the postgres user, create a archive directory in /pgtablespace for the streaming logfiles

# This file consists of lines of the form:

#   name = value
#
# (The "=" is optional.)  Whitespace may be used.  Comments are introduced with
# "#" anywhere on a line.  The complete list of parameter names and allowed
# values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation.
#
# The commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values.
# Re-commenting a setting is NOT sufficient to revert it to the default value;
# you need to reload the server.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the server receives a SIGHUP
# signal.  If you edit the file on a running system, you have to SIGHUP the
# server for the changes to take effect, or use "pg_ctl reload".  Some
# parameters, which are marked below, require a server shutdown and restart to
# take effect.
#
# Any parameter can also be given as a command-line option to the server, e.g.,
# "postgres -c log_connections=on".  Some parameters can be changed at run time
# with the "SET" SQL command.

# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
# ===================================================
#
# Refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the PostgreSQL
# documentation for a complete description of this file.  A short
# synopsis follows.
#
# This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
# are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which
# databases they can access.  Records take one of these forms:
#
# local      DATABASE  USER  METHOD  [OPTIONS]
# host       DATABASE  USER  CIDR-ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTIONS]
# hostssl    DATABASE  USER  CIDR-ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTIONS]
# hostnossl  DATABASE  USER  CIDR-ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTIONS]
#
# (The uppercase items must be replaced by actual values.)
#
# The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain
# socket, "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket,
# "hostssl" is an SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a
# plain TCP/IP socket.
#
# DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samerole", "replication", a
# database name, or a comma-separated list thereof.
#
# USER can be "all", a user name, a group name prefixed with "+", or a
# comma-separated list thereof.  In both the DATABASE and USER fields
# you can also write a file name prefixed with "@" to include names
# from a separate file.
#
# CIDR-ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches.  It is
# made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is an integer (between
# 0 and 32 (IPv4) or 128 (IPv6) inclusive) that specifies the number
# of significant bits in the mask.  Alternatively, you can write an IP
# address and netmask in separate columns to specify the set of hosts.
# Instead of a CIDR-address, you can write "samehost" to match any of
# the server's own IP addresses, or "samenet" to match any address in
# any subnet that the server is directly connected to.
#
# METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "password", "gss", "sspi",
# "krb5", "ident", "pam", "ldap", "radius" or "cert".  Note that
# "password" sends passwords in clear text; "md5" is preferred since
# it sends encrypted passwords.
#
# OPTIONS are a set of options for the authentication in the format
# NAME=VALUE.  The available options depend on the different
# authentication methods -- refer to the "Client Authentication"
# section in the documentation for a list of which options are
# available for which authentication methods.
#
# Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other
# special characters must be quoted.  Quoting one of the keywords
# "all", "sameuser", "samerole" or "replication" makes the name lose
# its special character, and just match a database or username with
# that name.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
# a SIGHUP signal.  If you edit the file on a running system, you have
# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect.  You can
# use "pg_ctl reload" to do that.

# Put your actual configuration here
# ----------------------------------
#
# If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more
# "host" records.  In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL
# listen on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses
# configuration parameter, or via the -i or -h command line switches.



# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            CIDR-ADDRESS            METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all             all                                     md5 
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             0.0.0.1/0               md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 md5
host    all             all      127.0.0.1/32 trust
host    all             all      172.16.0.0/24 trust
host    replication     all      172.16.0.0/24 trust
