Start and Verify Cluster
------------------------
Start the Cluster
#################
Now that Corosync is configured, it is time to start the cluster.
The command below will start the ``corosync`` and ``pacemaker`` services on
both nodes in the cluster.
.. code-block:: console
[root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs cluster start --all
pcmk-1: Starting Cluster...
pcmk-2: Starting Cluster...
.. NOTE::
An alternative to using the ``pcs cluster start --all`` command
is to issue either of the below command sequences on each node in the
cluster separately:
.. code-block:: console
# pcs cluster start
Starting Cluster...
or
.. code-block:: console
# systemctl start corosync.service
# systemctl start pacemaker.service
.. IMPORTANT::
In this example, we are not enabling the ``corosync`` and ``pacemaker``
services to start at boot. If a cluster node fails or is rebooted, you will
need to run ``pcs cluster start [<NODENAME> | --all]`` to start the cluster
on it. While you can enable the services to start at boot (for example,
using ``pcs cluster enable [<NODENAME> | --all]``), requiring a manual
start of cluster services gives you the opportunity to do a post-mortem
investigation of a node failure before returning it to the cluster.
Verify Corosync Installation
################################
First, use ``corosync-cfgtool`` to check whether cluster communication is happy:
.. code-block:: console
[root@pcmk-1 ~]# corosync-cfgtool -s
Local node ID 1, transport knet
LINK ID 0 udp
addr = 192.168.122.101
status:
nodeid: 1: localhost
nodeid: 2: connected
We can see here that everything appears normal with our fixed IP address (not a
``127.0.0.x`` loopback address) listed as the ``addr``, and ``localhost`` and
``connected`` for the statuses of nodeid 1 and nodeid 2, respectively.
If you see something different, you might want to start by checking
the node's network, firewall, and SELinux configurations.
Next, check the membership and quorum APIs:
.. code-block:: console
[root@pcmk-1 ~]# corosync-cmapctl | grep members
runtime.members.1.config_version (u64) = 0
runtime.members.1.ip (str) = r(0) ip(192.168.122.101)
runtime.members.1.join_count (u32) = 1
runtime.members.1.status (str) = joined
runtime.members.2.config_version (u64) = 0
runtime.members.2.ip (str) = r(0) ip(192.168.122.102)
runtime.members.2.join_count (u32) = 1
runtime.members.2.status (str) = joined
[root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs status corosync
Membership information
----------------------
Nodeid Votes Name
1 1 pcmk-1 (local)
2 1 pcmk-2
You should see both nodes have joined the cluster.
Verify Pacemaker Installation
#################################
Now that we have confirmed that Corosync is functional, we can check
the rest of the stack. Pacemaker has already been started, so verify
the necessary processes are running:
.. code-block:: console
[root@pcmk-1 ~]# ps axf
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
2 ? S 0:00 [kthreadd]
...lots of processes...
17121 ? SLsl 0:01 /usr/sbin/corosync -f
17133 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/pacemakerd
17134 ? Ss 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/pacemaker/pacemaker-based
17135 ? Ss 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/pacemaker/pacemaker-fenced
17136 ? Ss 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/pacemaker/pacemaker-execd
17137 ? Ss 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/pacemaker/pacemaker-attrd
17138 ? Ss 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/pacemaker/pacemaker-schedulerd
17139 ? Ss 0:00 \_ /usr/libexec/pacemaker/pacemaker-controld
If that looks OK, check the ``pcs status`` output:
.. code-block:: console
[root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs status
Cluster name: mycluster
WARNINGS:
No stonith devices and stonith-enabled is not false
Cluster Summary:
* Stack: corosync
* Current DC: pcmk-2 (version 2.1.2-4.el9-ada5c3b36e2) - partition with quorum
* Last updated: Wed Jul 27 00:09:55 2022
* Last change: Wed Jul 27 00:07:08 2022 by hacluster via crmd on pcmk-2
* 2 nodes configured
* 0 resource instances configured
Node List:
* Online: [ pcmk-1 pcmk-2 ]
Full List of Resources:
* No resources
Daemon Status:
corosync: active/disabled
pacemaker: active/disabled
pcsd: active/enabled
Finally, ensure there are no start-up errors from ``corosync`` or ``pacemaker``
(aside from messages relating to not having STONITH configured, which are OK at
this point):
.. code-block:: console
[root@pcmk-1 ~]# journalctl -b | grep -i error
.. NOTE::
Other operating systems may report startup errors in other locations
(for example, ``/var/log/messages``).
Repeat these checks on the other node. The results should be the same.
Explore the Existing Configuration
##################################
For those who are not of afraid of XML, you can see the raw cluster
configuration and status by using the ``pcs cluster cib`` command.
.. topic:: The last XML you'll see in this document
.. code-block:: console
[root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs cluster cib
.. code-block:: xml

</cib>
Before we make any changes, it's a good idea to check the validity of
the configuration.
.. code-block:: console
[root@pcmk-1 ~]# pcs cluster verify --full
Error: invalid cib:
(unpack_resources) error: Resource start-up disabled since no STONITH resources have been defined
(unpack_resources) error: Either configure some or disable STONITH with the stonith-enabled option
(unpack_resources) error: NOTE: Clusters with shared data need STONITH to ensure data integrity
crm_verify: Errors found during check: config not valid
Error: Errors have occurred, therefore pcs is unable to continue
As you can see, the tool has found some errors. The cluster will not start any
resources until we configure STONITH.
