Hi Pacemaker Experts
I have inherited a pacemaker cluster running on the SLES11SP1 stack.
Sadly there is no support contract any more.
# rpm -qa | egrep 'pacemaker'
pacemaker-mgmt-2.0.0-0.5.5
pacemaker-mgmt-client-2.0.0-0.5.5
pacemaker-1.1.5-5.9.11.1
libpacemaker3-1.1.5-5.9.11.1
drbd-pacemaker-8.3.11-0.3.1
I need to migrate both SBD devices. I.e. /dev/sdX and /dev/sdY. to
/dev/sdA and /dev/sdB
It is required to do this without service downtime.
The sbd resource is running OK:
# crm_mon -1 | grep sbd
stonith_sbd_is (stonith:external/sbd): Started node1
and is configured as follows
# crm configure show | grep sbd
primitive stonith_sbd_is stonith:external/sbd \
params sbd_device="/dev/sdX;/dev/sdY"
and sbd processes are running from this config
# cat /etc/sysconfig/sbd
SBD_DEVICE="/dev/sdX;/dev/sdY"
SBD_OPTS="-W"
pstree -halp | grep sbd
|-sbd,8797
| |-sbd,8798
| `-sbd,8799
(similarly on node2)
The resources are all running, and both nodes are OK
# crm_mon

============
Online: [ node1 node2]
stonith_sbd_is (stonith:external/sbd): Started node1
....
Is this change possible without stopping the cluster? If so, how
should I best implement?
With downtime I guess all I would need to do is change the
/etc/sysconfig/sbd file, change the settings within the cluster via
crm, and restart everything. But I cannot see the cluster surviving
this without a downtime?
