                   Getting Started with Linux-HA (heartbeat)

Intro

   Let me preface this document by saying most of this is _not_ original
   work.  My purpose for writing this document is just trying to
   contribute in some way to possibly help those who REALLY get things
   done.  The "work" I am contributing is mostly compiling bits and
   pieces from other HA documents (such as Volker Wiegand's Hardware
   Installation Guide) into a document that can help novices get started
   on HA without pestering Alan (like I did!) and to cut down on repeat
   questions on the mailing list.


Getting Started

   The first thing you'll need is two computers.  You need not have
   identical hardware in both machines (or amount of memory, etc.), but
   if you did, it would make your life that much easier when a component
   fails.

   Now you have to decide on some of your implementation.  Your "cluster"
   is established via a "heartbeat" between the two computers (nodes)
   generated by the software package of the same name.  However, this
   heartbeat needs one or more media paths (serial via a null modem
   cable, ethernet via a crossover cable, etc.) between the nodes.

   At this point, you're actually ready to begin hardware-wise.  Of
   course, since you're looking into HA, you'll mostly likely want to
   avoid having only one point of failure.  In this case, that would be
   your null modem cable/serial port or network interface
   card(NIC)/crossover cable.  So, you need to decide whether you wish to
   add a second serial/null modem connection or a second network
   interface card (NIC)/crossover connnection to each node.  See Appendix
   A for instructions on how to build a Cat-5 crossover cable.  My
   heartbeat path setup uses one serial port and one extra NIC because I
   only had one null modem cable, had an extra of NIC on hand and thought
   it was good to have two medium types for the heartbeats.

   Once your hardware is in order, you must install your OS and configure
   your networking (I used Red Hat).  Assuming you have 2 NICs, one
   should be configured for your "normal" network and the other as a
   private network between your clustered nodes (via the crossover
   cable).  For an example, we will assume that our cluster will have the
   following addresses:

   Node 1 (linuxha1):   192.168.85.1  (normal 192x net)
                        10.0.0.1 (private 10x net for heartbeat)
   Node 2 (linuxha2):   192.168.85.2  (192x)
                        10.0.0.2  (10x)
   Note:  None of these addresses should be your "cluster address" - the
   address handled by heartbeat and failed over between nodes!

   Most *nix distributions this easy during installation, however, if you
   are having any problems, refer to either the Ethernet HOWTO, or the
   documentation for your distribution.     To check your configuration,
   type:

            ifconfig

   This will show your network interfaces and their configuration.  You
   can obtain your network routing information from "netstat -nr".

   If it looks good, make sure you can ping between both nodes on all
   interfaces.

   Next, if you're using one, you'll need to test your serial
   connection.  On one node, which will be the receiver, type:
              cat </dev/ttyS0

   On the other node, type,:
              echo hello >/dev/ttyS0

   You should see the text on the receiver node.  If it works, change
   their roles and try again.  If it doesn't, it may be as simple as
   having the wrong device file.  Volker's HA Hardware Guide and the
   Serial HOWTO are two good resources for troubleshooting your serial
   connection.

Installing Heartbeat.

   You can now install the heartbeat package.  If you're reading this,
   you already have it, but in any case it's available at:

          [1]http://linux-ha.org/download

   There are binary RPMs at the website, or you can build heartbeat from
   source.  Grab the tarball (or install the source RPM).  Untar it into
   your favorite source directory.   From the top of the source tree,
   type "./ConfigureMe configure", followed by "make" and "make install".
    If you  have problems installing the RPMs found at the website and
   want a way to make your own, there  may be help in the [2]FAQ.

Configuring Heartbeat

   Configuring ha.cf
   There are three files you will need to configure before starting up
   heartbeat.  First, is ha.cf.  This will be placed in the /etc/ha.d
   directory that is created after installation.  It tells heartbeat what
   types of media paths to use and how to configure them.   The ha.cf in
   the source directory contains all the various options you can use,
   I'll go through it line by line...

   serial /dev/ttyS0
          Use a serial heartbeat - if you don't use a serial heartbeat,
          you must use another medium, such as a bcast (ethernet)
          heartbeat.  Replace /dev/ttyS0 with the appropriate device file
          for your required serial heartbeat.

   watchdog /dev/watchdog
          Optional.  The watchdog function provides a way to have a
          system that is still minimally functioning, but not providing a
          heartbeat, reboot itself after a minute of being sick.  This
          could help to avoid a scenario where the machine recovers its
          heartbeat after being pronounced dead.  If that happened and a
          disk mount failed over, you could have two nodes mounting a
          disk simultaneously. If you wish to use this feature, then in
          addition to this line, you will need to load the "softdog"
          kernel module and create the actual device file.  To do this,
          first type "insmod softdog" to load the module. Then, type
          "grep misc /proc/devices" and note the number it reports
          (should be 10).  Next, type "cat /proc/misc | grep watchdog"
          and note that number (should be 130).  Now you can create the
          device file with that info typing, "mknod /dev/watchdog c 10
          130".

   bcast eth1
          Specifies to use a broadcast heartbeat over the eth1 interface
          (replace with eth0, eth2, or whatever you use).

   keepalive 2
          Sets the time between heartbeats to 2 seconds.

   warntime 10
          Time in seconds before issuing a "late heartbeat" warning in
          the logs.

   deadtime 30
          Node is pronounced dead after 30 seconds.

   initdead 120
          With some configurations, the network takes some time to start
          working after a reboot.   This is a separate "deadtime" to
          handle that case.  It should be at least twice the normal
          deadtime.

   hopfudge 1
          Optional.  For ring topologies, number of hops allowed in
          addition to the number of nodes in the cluster.

   baud 19200
          Speed at which to run the serial line (bps).

   udpport 694
          Use port number 694 for bcast or ucast communication. This is
          the default, and the official IANA registered port number.

   auto_failback on

        Required.  For those familiar with Tru64 Unix, heartbeat acts as
                if in "favored member" mode.  The master listed in the
                haresources file holds all the resources until a
                failover, at which time the slave takes over.  When
                auto_failback is set to on once the master comes back
                online, it will take everything back from the slave.
                When set to off this option will prevent the master node
                from re-acquiring cluster resources after a failover.
                This option is similar to to the obsolete nice_failback
                option. If you want to upgrade from a cluster which had
                nice_failback set off, to this or later versions, special
                considerations apply in order to want to avoid requiring
                a flash cut. Please see the [3]FAQ for details on how to
                deal with this situation.

   node linuxha1.linux-ha.org
          Mandatory.  Hostname of machine in cluster as described by
          `uname -n`.

   node linuxha2.linux-ha.org
          Mandatory.  Hostname of machine in cluster as described by
          `uname -n`.

   respawn  userid  cmd
          Optional:  Lists a command to be spawned  and monitored.  Eg:
          To spawn ccm daemons the following line has to be added:
                  respawn hacluster /usr/lib/heartbeat/ccm
          Informs heartbeat to spawn the command with the credentials of
          that of userid (hacluster, in this example) and monitors the
          health of the process, respawning it if dead.  For ipfail, the
          line would be:
                    respawn hacluster /usr/lib/heartbeat/ipfail
          NOTE: If the process dies with exit code 100, the process is
          not respawned.

   ping    ping1.linux-ha.org  ping2.linux-ha.org ....
          Optional: Specify ping nodes.  These nodes are not considered
          as cluster nodes.  They are used to check  network connectivity
          for modules like ipfail.

   ping_group    name  ping1.linux-ha.org  ping2.linux-ha.org ....
          Optional: Specify a group ping nodes.  These are the similar to
          ping nodes, but if any node in a group is available then the
          group is considered available. The group name can be any string
          and is used to uniquely identify the group. Each group must
          appear on a separate line. Like ping nodes the group is not
          considered to be a cluster node. They appear to be the same as
          ping nodes and are used to check  network connectivity for
          modules like ipfail.

   Configuring haresources
   Once you've got your ha.cf set up, you need to configure haresources.
   This file specifies the services for the cluster and who the default
   owner is.
   Note:  This file must be the same on both nodes!

   For our example, we'll assume the high availability services are
   Apache and Samba.  The IP for the cluster is mandatory, and don't
   configure the cluster IP outside of the haresources file!.  The
   haresources will need one line:
                  linuxha1.linux-ha.org 192.168.85.3 httpd smb

   So, this line dictates that on startup, have linuxha1 serve the IP
   192.168.85.3 and start apache and samba as well.
   On shutdown, heartbeat will first stop smb, then apache, then give up
   the IP.  This assumes that the command "uname -n" spits out
   "linuxha1.linux-ha.org" - yours may well produce "linuxha1" and if it
   does, use that instead!

   Note:  httpd and smb are the name of startup scripts for Apache and
   Samba, respectively.  Heartbeat will look for startup scripts of the
   same name in the following paths:
       /etc/ha.d/resource.d
       /etc/rc.d/init.d

   These scripts must start services via "scriptname start" and stop them
   via "scriptname stop".
   So you can use any services as long as they conform to the above
   standard.

   Should you need to pass arguments to a custom script, the format would
   be:
                scriptname::argument

   So, if we added a service "maid" which needed the argument "vacuum",
   our haresources line would modify to the following:
                linuxha1 192.168.85.3 httpd smb maid::vacuum

   This brings us to some added flexibility with the service IP address.
   We are actually using a shorthand notation above.  The actual line
   could have read (we've canned the maid):
                linuxha1 IPaddr::192.168.85.3 httpd smb

   Where IPaddr is the name of our service script, taking the argument
   192.168.85.3.  Sure enough, if you look in the directory
   /etc/ha.d/resource.d, you will find a script called IPaddr.  This
   script will also allow you to manipulate the netmask, broadcast
   address and base interface of this IP service.  To specify a subnet
   with 32 addresses, you could define the service as (leaving off the
   IPaddr because we can!):
                linuxha1 192.168.85.3/27 httpd smb

   This sets the IP service address to 192.168.85.3, the netmask to
   255.255.255.224 and the broadcast address would default to
   192.168.85.31 (which is the highest address on the subnet).  The last
   parameter you can set is the broadcast address.  To override the
   default  and set it to 192.168.85.16, your entry would read:
                linuxha1 192.168.85.3/27/192.168.85.16 httpd smb

   You may be wondering whether any of the above is necessary for you.
   It depends.  If you've properly established a net route (independent
   of heartbeat) for the service's IP address, with the correct netmask
   and broadcast address, then no, it's not necessary for you.  However,
   this case won't fit everybody and that's why the option's there!  In
   addition, you may have more than one possible interface that could be
   used for the service IP.  Read on to see how heartbeat treats this...

   Once you straighten out your haresources file, copy ha.cf and
   haresources to /etc/ha.d and you're ready to start!

   Configuring ipfail
   The ipfail plugin attempts to provide detection of network failures,
   and then intelligently react, directing the cluster to failover
   resources as necessary. In order to accomplish this goal, it uses ping
   nodes or ping groups which work as "dumb" third parties in the
   cluster. Provided both HA nodes can communicate with each other,
   ipfail can reliably detect when one of their network links has become
   unusable, and compensate.
   To configure ipfail, the following steps must be performed.
    1. Select good ping node candidates.
       It is essential that good strategic ping nodes be selected. The
       better your choices, the stronger your HA cluster becomes.
       Choosing solid network devices like switches and routers is a good
       idea. Do not choose either of the members of the HA cluster. Nor
       should you select someone's workstation. It is also important to
       select ping nodes that reflect the connectivity of your HA nodes.
       If you wish to monitor the connectivity of two interfaces, it is
       wise to select a ping node for each interface, that is reachable
       exclusively from said interface. Consult [4]ipfail-diagram.pdf for
       a graphical representation of this idea.
    2. Set auto_failback to on or off.
       ipfail will only operate if heartbeat has been configured to
       something other than legacy In ha.cf, set the auto_failback option
       to "on" or "off" like so:

     auto_failback on
       or

     auto_failback off
    3. Configure your ha.cf to start ipfail.
       Add a line like the following to ha.cf (assuming your compile
       PREFIX is /usr)

     respawn hacluster /usr/lib/heartbeat/ipfail
    4. Add the ping nodes to ha.cf.
       The ping nodes can be added to the cluster by using a line like
       the following:

     ping pnode1 pnode2 pnodeN
       Simply replace pnode1, pnode2, ... pnodeN with the IP addresses of
       your ping nodes.

   Ensure that the above configuration directives are added to the ha.cf
   on both members of the cluster, and that they are identical.

     NOTE: You will want to check on the availability of the ping nodes
     prior to using them. If you cannot ping them from both of the HA
     nodes, they are useless.

Selecting an Interface

   One important aspect of configuring the haresources file for a machine
   which has multiple ethernet interfaces is to know how heartbeat
   selects which interface will wind up supporting the service addresses
   that are configured in haresources.  After all, no interface was
   specified in the haresources file.

   Heartbeat decides which interface will be used by looking at the
   routing table.  It tries to select the lowest cost route to the IP
   address to be taken over.  In the case of a tie, it chooses the first
   route found.  For most configurations this means the default route
   will be least preferred.

   If you don't specify a netmask for the IP address in the haresources
   file, the netmask associated with the selected route will be used.
   Simmilarly, if an interface is not specivied, then the virtual ip
   address will be added to the interface associated with the selected
   route. If the broadcast address is omitted then the hightest address
   in the subnet is used.

   Configuring Authkeys

   The third file to configure determines your authentication keys.
   There are three types of authentication methods available:  crc, md5,
   and sha1.  "Well, which should I use?", you ask.  Since this document
   is called "Getting Started", we'll keep it simple......

   If your heartbeat runs over a secure network, such as the crossover
   cable in our example, you'll want to use crc.  This is the cheapest
   method from a resources perspective.  If the network is insecure, but
   you're either not very paranoid or concerned about minimizing CPU
   resources, use md5.  Finally, if you want the best authentication
   without regard for CPU resources, use sha1.  It's the hardest to
   crack.

   The format of the file is as follows:
   auth <number>
   <number> <authmethod> [<authkey>]

   SO, for sha1, a sample /etc/ha.d/authkeys could be:
   auth 1
   1 sha1 key-for-sha1-any-text-you-want

   For md5, you could use the same as the above, but replace "sha1" with
   "md5".

   Finally, for crc, a sample might be:
   auth 2
   2 crc

   Whatever index you put after the keyword auth must be found below in
   the keys listed in the file. If you put "auth 4", then there must be
   an "4 signaturetype" line in the list below.

   Make sure its permissions are safe, like 600.  And "any text you want"
   is not quite right.  There's a limit to the number of characters you
   can use.
   That's it!

Starting and testing heartbeat

   From Red Hat, or other distributions which use /etc/init.d startup
   files, simply type /etc/init.d/heartbeat start on both nodes.  I would
   recommend starting on the system master (in our example linuxha1)
   first.

   If you want heartbeat to run on startup, what to do will differ on
   your distribution.  You may need to place links to the startup script
   in the appropriate init level directories, but the RPM versions will
   do this for you.  I have heartbeat start at its default sequential
   priority (75, which means it starts after services 74 and lower and
   before services with priority 76-99), end at its default sequential
   priority (05), and only care about the 0(halt), 6(reboot),
   3(text-only), 5(X) run levels.

   So, if I had to do it by hand, I'd need to type in the following (as
   root, of course):

       cd /etc/rc.d/rc0.d ; ln -s ../init.d/heartbeat K05heartbeat
       cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d ; ln -s ../init.d/heartbeat S75heartbeat
       cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d ; ln -s ../init.d/heartbeat S75heartbeat
       cd /etc/rc.d/rc6.d ; ln -s ../init.d/heartbeat K05heartbeat

   The last time I ran slackware, there was no /etc/rc.d/init.d directory
   (may have changed by now) and to do the same thing, I would have
   placed in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
       /etc/ha.d/heartbeat start
   ***This assumes you copy the file ha.rc to /etc/ha.d/heartbeat.  If
   you can't find /etc/rc.d/init.d with your distribution and you're
   unsure of how processes start, you can use the rc.local method.  But
   you're on your own for shutdown, I just don't remember...

   Note:  If you use the watchdog function, you'll need to load its
   module at bootup as well.  You can put the following command at the
   bottom of the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file:
       /sbin/insmod softdog
   For the rc.local method, just put the same line right above where you
   start heartbeat.

   Once you've started heartbeat, take a peek at your log file (default
   is /var/log/ha-log) before testing it.  If all is peachy, the service
   owner's log (linuxha1 in our example) should look something like this:
   heartbeat: 2003/02/10_13:52:22 info: Neither logfile nor logfacility
   found.

   NOTE:  Your log may differ depending on when you started heartbeat on
   linuxha2!!!  I started heartbeat on the linuxha2 @13:56:30...

   OK, now try to ping your cluster's IP (192.168.85.3 in the example).
   If this works, ssh to it and verify you're on linuxha1.
   Next, make sure your services are tied to the .3 address.  Bring up
   netscape and type in 192.168.85.3 for the URL.  For Samba, try to map
   the drive "\\192.168.85.3\test"  assuming you set up a share called
   "test".  See Samba docs to get that going.  As an aside, however,
   you'll want to use the "netbios name" parameter to have your Samba
   share listed under the cluster name and not the hostname of your
   cluster member!

   NOTE: If you can't bring up the service IP address and you get ha-log
   entries similar to this:

             SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
             SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
             SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
             SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
             SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
             SIOCADDRT: No such device

     It may mean that you need to enable IP aliasing in your kernel
     build.  Check /usr/src/linux/.config for "CONFIG_IP_ALIAS=y" if you
     don't have it, you'll have the line "CONFIG_IP_ALIAS is not set".
     Rebuild your kernel with IP aliasing enabled.

   If this all works, you've got availability.  Now let's see if we have
   High Availability :-)

   Take down linuxha1.  Kill power, kill heartbeat, whatever you have the
   stomach for, but don't just yank both the serial and eth1 heartbeat
   cables.  If you do that, you'll have services running on both nodes
   and when you re-connect the heartbeat, a bit of chaos....
   Now ping the cluster IP. Approximately 5-10 seconds later it should
   start responding again. Telnet again and verify you're on linuxha2.
   If it happens but takes more like 30 seconds, something is wrong.

   If you get this far, it's probably working, but you should probably
   check all your heartbeats, too.
   First, check your serial heartbeat.  Unplug the crossover cable from
   your eth1 NIC that you're using for your bcast heartbeat.  Wait about
   10 seconds.
   Now, look at /var/log/ha-log on linuxha2 and make sure there's no line
   like this:
       1999/08/16_12:40:58 node linuxha1.linux-ha.org: is dead
   If you get that, your serial heartbeat isn't working and your second
   node is taking over.  To avoid any problems, shut down heartbeat on
   the first node, then test your null modem cable.  Run the above serial
   tests again.

   If your log is clean, great.  Re-connect the crossover cable.  Once
   that's done, disconnect the serial cable, wait 10 seconds and check
   the linuxha2 log again.
   If it's clean, congrats!  If not, you can check /var/log/ha-log and
   /var/log/ha-debug for more clues.
