Enabling and Disabling High Availability for Nodes

Usually, you decide whether to enable High Availability (HA) support for a node when you install Virtuozzo Storage on it.

To enable HA on a prepared node, do the following:

  1. Execute the shaman join command. For example, to join the cluster pcs1, execute:

    # shaman -c pcs1 join

    Note: Stop all service Containers (e.g., 1 and 50) before executing this command. Start them again after the command has been executed.

  2. Configure and start the required services:

    # chkconfig snmpd on

    # service snmpd start

    # chkconfig shamand on

    # service shamand start

    # chkconfig pdrsd on

    # service pdrsd start

    Note: If you use snmpd for other purposes and it is already running, skip the two corresponding commands above.

To disable HA on a node, do the following:

  1. Configure and stop the services which are no longer required:

    # chkconfig shamand off

    # service shamand stop

    # chkconfig pdrsd off

    # service pdrsd stop

  2. Execute the shaman leave command. For example, to leave the cluster pcs1, execute:

    # shaman -c pcs1 leave

After enabling or disabling HA support for a node, you can check the results of your actions with the shaman stat command.
