使用linux heartbeat 的一些经验

硬件：2台hpe800,一条心跳线用于串口信息的检测，一条交叉线用于UDP协议的通讯。双网卡，一块用于连接交叉线，一块用于连接交换机。
软件：REDHAT 7.3(MANDRAKE 8.2测试也通过)，heartbeat-0.4.9.1-1.i386.rpm
其它准备：HPE800（1），主机名：CLUSTER-101-SERVER ，IP地址：192.9.100.101
HPE800（2），主机名：CLUSTER-101-SERVER ，IP地址：192.9.100.101
虚拟主机名：CLUSTER-SERVER ，IP地址：192.9.100.100
从http://www.linux-ha.org 网站下载最新的Heartbeat 软件包，目前的版本为heartbeat-0.4.9.1，分别解压：rpm –ivh heartbeat-0.4.9.1-1.i386.rpm。
首先配置第一台hpe800 ，解压后得到目录/etc/ha.d， 主要配置三个文件/etc/ha.d/ha.cf、/etc/ha.d/haresources、/etc/ha.d/authkeys
我主要配置的http 与 smb的HA集群，三个文件的主要配置如下：
/etc/ha.d/ha.cf
# If any of debugfile, logfile and logfacility are defined then they
# will be used. If debugfile and/or logfile are not defined and
# logfacility is defined then the respective logging and debug
# messages will be loged to syslog. If logfacility is not defined
# then debugfile and logfile will be used to log messges. If
# logfacility is not defined and debugfile and/or logfile are not
# defined then defaults will be used for debugfile and logfile as
# required and messages will be sent there.
#
# File to wirte debug messages to
debugfile /var/log/ha-debug
#
#
# File to write other messages to
#
logfile /var/log/ha-log
#
#
# Facility to use for syslog()/logger
#

# keepalive: how many seconds between heartbeats
#
keepalive 2
#
# deadtime: seconds-to-declare-host-dead
#
deadtime 10
#
#
# Very first dead time (initdead)
#
# On some machines/OSes, etc. the network takes a while to come up
# and start working right after you've been rebooted. As a result
# we have a separate dead time for when things first come up.
# It should be at least twice the normal dead time.
#
initdead 120

# hopfudge maximum hop count minus number of nodes in config

# What UDP port to use for communication?
#

#
# What interfaces to heartbeat over?
#
udp eth1
#
# Set up a multicast heartbeat medium
# mcast [dev] [mcast group] [port] [ttl] [loop]
#
# [dev] device to send/rcv heartbeats on
# [mcast group] multicast group to join (class D multicast address
# 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255)
# [port] udp port to sendto/rcvfrom (no real reason to differ
# from the port used for broadcast heartbeats)
# [ttl] the ttl value for outbound heartbeats. this effects
# how far the multicast packet will propagate. (0-255)
# [loop] toggles loopback for outbound multicast heartbeats.
# if enabled, an outbound packet will be looped back and
# received by the interface it was sent on. (0 or 1)
#

# Watchdog is the watchdog timer. If our own heart doesn't beat for

# "Legacy" STONITH support
# Using this directive assumes that there is one stonith
# device in the cluster. Parameters to this device are
# read from a configuration file. The format of this line is:
#
# stonith <stonith_type> <configfile>
#333
# NOTE: it is up to you to maintain this file on each node in the
# cluster!
#
#stonith baytech /etc/ha.d/conf/stonith.baytech
#
# STONITH support
# You can configure multiple stonith devices using this directive.
# The format of the line is:
# stonith_host <hostfrom> <stonith_type> <params...>
# <hostfrom> is the machine the stonith device is attached
# to or * to mean it is aclearcase/" target="_blank" >ccessible from any host.
# <stonith_type> is the type of stonith device (a list of
# supported drives is in /usr/lib/stonith.)
# <params...> are driver specific parameters. To see the
# format for a particular device, run:
# stonith -l -t <stonith_type>
#
#
# Note that if you put your stonith device access information in
# here, and you make this file publically readable, you're asking
# for a denial of service attack ;-)

很重要的一点，一定要去确保两台机器的配置文件一样，包括smb.conf等需要集群的配置文件，如果有共享存储的话还要注意很多问题，具体我没有测试过，也没有相关的硬件设备。
现在可以开始测试，首先关闭两台机器需要集群的服务，因为heartbeat 启动时会自动服务打开（测试的时候会有几秒钟的滞后）。
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/heartbeat start

ok, 配置已经完成，服务也应该起来，如果没有的话，注意检查/var/log/messages里面的信息。
可以开始测试了：
为了清楚，把web服务器的主文件，/var/www/html/index.html 修改成可以区分两台机器的页面，例如可以把内容改为：cluster-101-server 与cluster-102-server
在别的机器里输入：http://192.9.100.100 (虚拟的地址)
可以看到cluster-101-server ,想办法让cluster-101-server死机，大概3-5秒，可以看到页面变成cluster-102-server，服务成功的转换了，等cluster-101-server服务起来后，页面又切换到
cluster-101-server，几乎没有延时。这样就提高了系统的高可用性。


忘记了一点：一定要修改文件authkeys的属性，否则服务起不来。
chmod 600 /etc/ha.d/authkeys
