Konu: Re: Is there any backup heartbeat channel

Hi list,
I am trying a two node cluster with RH 5.3 on Sun X4150 hardware. I use a
private network for heartbeat channel and fence_ipmilan for fencing the two
node. When I unplug the heartbeat channel cable, both cluster nodes shut
themselves down with fence_ipmilan.
I think the single point of failure for this design is private heartbeat
channel. I made a search on the web and there seems no backup heartbeat
channel (like LVS) on cluster suite.
How can I overcome this single point of failure problem?
One solution is I think, bonding heartbeat interfaces, however I use all
available interfaces and there is no extra interface for private heartbeat
channel. For this reason this solution doesn't suit me.
Why do you need a private heartbeat channel? Configure two network
interfaces in a bonding one, connect the two of them to two different
switches (with a redundant interconnection), make sure switches let
multicast traffic through. Configure bonding interface IP to fit your needs.
This is another good solution which already mentioned in the list. I
use this cluster design for two xen hosts. We have VLAN networking and
I got two interfaces which are trunk. Then I made bridge vlan
interfaces on this bond trunk network for virtual machines. So there
left two interfaces. One of them is for management network which is in
a DMZ zone. And another for private heartbeat. I can use management
for heartbeat but what changes? When I unplug the management network
cable this problem will occur again. I cant bond the private and
management interfaces because of limitations on network hardware?
On the other hand this solution is good for other cluster desings but
not this I think. I am really confused why there is no backup
heartbeat channel in cluster suite?
Greetings,
Juanra
Anybody has an idea to overcome heartbeat channel failure problem.
