[Pacemaker] Master/Slave Confusion

[Moritz Krinke]

Hi,

if you make the LDAP daemon listen on all available interfaces, it will accept connections on the on-demand activated floating-ip.

Or, if you really want to make the ldap daemon listen only on the floating-ip, you would have to write a resoure agent for ldap which will edit the ldap config (add the floating ip) and restart the ldap daemon on a promote, and remove it again on a denote. this way you would have the ldap daemon listening on the fix ip for replication on the slave and only if promoted on the floating-ip.

In my case, I have 2 nodes that have LDAP servers on them, one is the master and the other is the replicated slave.  Most of the time, I'd like the virtual IP to be tied to the master LDAP node because that one has write access for folks to change LDAP attributes like passwords and what not, but the slave is read only.  So I want the master to have the floating IP if it is alive at all times.  If the master one dies, I'd like the virtual IP to float over to the slave so folks could still access LDAP that way.  Then if the master comes back, it immediately grabs the IP back.
