Ladies & Gents (I won’t make that same mistake again ;)  ),

First, thank you to the lady who helped me explain how to force an OK on
fencing that is failing.

A 2 node config & Luci :

I would liketo put a backup solution in place for the cluster config /
nodeconfig/ fencing etc...

What would you recommend ? Or does  Luci archive versions of
config-files somewhere ?

Basically, if shit hits the fan I would like to untar a golden image of
a config on luci and push it back to the nodes…

Thx

The main config file is /etc/cluster/cluster.conf. A copy of this file should be on all nodes at once, so even if you didn't have a backup proper, you should be able to copy it from another node.

Beyond that, I personally backup (sample taken from a node called 'an-c05n01';

I then push the resulting tar file to my PXE server. I have a kickstart script that does a minimal rhel6 install, plus the cluster stuff, and then has a %post script that downloads this tar and extracts it.

This way, when the node needs to be rebuilt, it's 95% ready to go. I still need to do things like 'drbdadm create-md <res>', but it's still very quick to restore a node.
