Hi,
I followed http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/High_Availability_Cluster on a 3-node cluster with dell hardware and fencing configured as of http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Fencing#IPMI_.28generic.29.
Node evacuation by stopping rgmanager works.
But when i simulate a "real" note failure by forcing a kernal panic with echo "c" > /proc/sysrq-trigger, it does not work.
- The BMC fencing seems not to work (how to test this, wiki only describes testing with apc switchable PDU)?
- The KVM guests don´t restart on another node.
- Cluster has serious problems after (sry, cant remember, need to test again what exactly was wrong).
Additional, is there a mechanism to not over-populate a node? When stopping rgmanager all vms seem to be evacuated to a random, but only single node.
Is there no check to see which hosts are the lowest utilized?
Thanks,
Proxman
(Sidenote, i for sure consider buying a service contract but first i want to be moderately sure that this will run sufficient smoothly)
(There is a real lack on a proper documentation, even if as a payed but drm-free pdf.)
