[Pacemaker] Master/Slave Confusion

[Erich Weiler]

OK - it seems I've achieved what I want via the following configuration:

node testvm1
node testvm2
node testvm3
primitive LDAP lsb:ldap \
         op monitor interval="40s" \
         op monitor interval="41s" role="Master"
primitive LDAP-IP ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2 \
         params ip="10.1.1.80" cidr_netmask="16" \
         op monitor interval="30s"
ms LDAP-clone LDAP \
         meta master-max="1" master-node-max="1" clone-max="2" 
clone-node-max="1"
location LDAP-IP-master LDAP-IP 10: testvm3
location LDAP-IP-slave LDAP-IP 5: testvm2
location LDAP-master LDAP-clone 10: testvm3
location LDAP-slave LDAP-clone 5: testvm2
colocation LDAP-with-IP inf: LDAP-IP LDAP-clone
order LDAP-after-IP inf: LDAP-IP:start LDAP-clone:promote
property $id="cib-bootstrap-options" \
         dc-version="1.0.5-462f1569a43740667daf7b0f6b521742e9eb8fa7" \
         cluster-infrastructure="openais" \
         expected-quorum-votes="3" \
         stonith-enabled="false" \
         symmetric-cluster="false"

testvm3 is the preferred server for LDAP and the floating IP, if testvm3 
goes down the IP floats over to testvm2.  However, when I do a status I 
see this:

============
Last updated: Mon Feb  1 19:51:34 2010
Stack: openais
Current DC: testvm1 - partition with quorum
Version: 1.0.5-462f1569a43740667daf7b0f6b521742e9eb8fa7
3 Nodes configured, 3 expected votes
2 Resources configured.
============

Online: [ testvm3 testvm2 testvm1 ]

LDAP-IP (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2):       Started testvm3
Master/Slave Set: LDAP-clone
         Slaves: [ testvm3 testvm2 ]

Both testvm2 and testvm3 are still "Slaves".  Does anyone know what this 
means?  Why isn't one of them a Master?  I'd rather configure the IP to 
follow the "Master", then what I'm doing now, which is simply tell the 
IP and LDAP that they prefer testvm3.  I have LDAP-clone and LDAP-IP 
colocated, but since the clone can exist on either node it doesn't mean 
much.  I think the IP is following the preference I set, and not 
'following the master' since there is no master?

How does one promote a slave to master automatically?

Thanks again for any insight!
