Hello,
I'm planning migration of current two clusters based on CentOS 6.x with
Cman/Rgmanager going to CentOS 7.x and Corosync/Pacemaker.

As the clusters and their services are on the same subnet, and there no
particular security concerns differentiating them, I'm also evaluating the
option to transform the two clusters into a unique 4-node one during the
upgrade.

Currently I'm testing a virtual 4-node CentOS 7.4 cluster inside oVirt 4.2
and things seem to behave well.

Before going further in deep with tests and so on, I'd like to check with
the community about how many CentOS 7.x clusters composed by more than two
nodes are in place and what are the feedbacks on them in terms of
incremented latency/communication, ecc scaling out.

Also general feedback related to CentOS 6 and scalability of cluster nodes
number is welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

From my point of view such classical cluster setups are so 2000s. Outdated by modern infrastructure concepts you see implemented in Kubernetes, OpenShift or cloud solutions in general. It's commonly summarized in the phrase "pets versus cattle". You don't want clusters to be treated as pets. Has always been difficult to maintain.

Obviously I don't know what you run on your old cluster and whether you can migrate to a modern setup instead of replicating it on a current major release. You didn't give us details.
