Test HA on 2 server proxmox on VirtualBox

[Grzesiek]

Hi.
On virtualbox create 2 server : proxmox1 and proxmox2. I want to test HA on 2 nodes. I use this : https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Two-Node_High_Availability_Cluster .
I make https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/DRBD it's work.
My first server name is grzesiek1
My second server name is grzesiek2
Commend fence_tool ls

fence domain
member count 2
victim count 0
victim now 0
master nodeid 2
wait state none
members 1 2

I copy and rename cluster.conf to cluster.conf.new and configure:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster name="tygrys" config_version="3">

<cman expected_votes="1" keyfile="/var/lib/pve-cluster/corosync.authkey" two_nodes="1"/>

<fencedevices>
<fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" hostname="192.168.151.117" login="root" name="grzesiek1" passwd="Pa$$w0rd"/>
<fencedevice agent="fence_ilo" hostname="192.168.151.134" login="root" name="grzesiek2" passwd="Pa$$w0rd"/>
</fencedevices>

<clusternodes>
<clusternode name="grzesiek1" votes="1" nodeid="1"/>
<fence>
<method name="1">
<device name="grzesiek1" action="reboot"/>
</method>
</fence>
<clusternode name="grzesiek2" votes="1" nodeid="2"/>
<fence>
<method name="1">
<device name="grzesiek2" action="reboot"/>
</method>
</fence>
</clusternodes>
</cluster>

Server 1 :
hostname: grzesiek1
password: Pa$$w0rd
IP: 192.168.151.117
Server2:
hostname: grzesiek2
password: Pa$$w0rd
IP: 192.168.151.134

Finally I go to gui > HA and click activate but :

config validation failed: unknown error (500)

Where is error?
Sorry for my english

hi!
I'm not sure but that page says "We will use HP's iLO for this example.", and then uses fence_ilo. so it could be that it expects your server to be HP with "ilo" (http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/servers/ilo/) to work.

maybe you can use no fence device at all just for virtual clusters testing? never tried though

see this old thread http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/8376-HA-without-fence-device

for virtualbox fencing, this might work https://code.google.com/p/fencevbox/

or you can run a virtual proxmox cluster in proxmox and use the fence_pve device, which has a man page.
