When configuring a cluster, you want tot keep managing the server as simple as possible. Theoretically, the results given by any node in the cluster should be equal as you want the cluster to be transparent to the end-user. Part of doing this, is having the same data available on every node of the cluster when it’s active. One way to do this, is using a central file-share, for example over NFS but this also has disadvantages. Another way is to have a distributed file system that stays on the nodes itself. DRBD is one of them. This post explains how to integrate DRBD in a cluster with Corosync and Pacemaker.
DRBD stands for Distributed Replicated Block Device and the name already explains what it is. DRBD presents a layer on top of a normal block device and is responsible for keeping it synchronized over multiple nodes. Simplified, you can compare DRBD with a RAID1-array over multiple devices in different nodes instead of over multiple devices on the same node.
In this post, I will continue with the setup which was created earlier in Building a high-available failover cluster with Pacemaker, Corosync & PCS. So if you’re looking for the basic configuration of a cluster, have a look here. I assume, for this post, that you got a working cluster with Corosync and Pacemaker.
The goal of these actions is to have the data for the Apache webserver synchronized over both nodes. In the example, the configured webserver was presenting the local data which we even used to identify the nodes.
Since RHEL 7, Red Hat doesn’t officially support DRBD anymore. Support for DRBD is still available via an external partner. This also means that CentOS, one of the RHEL derivatives doesn’t have the DRBD packages available. Fortunately, ELRepo still provides what we need to get going with DRBD.
Installing DRBD
More info about ELRepo can be found here: http://elrepo.org/tiki/drbd83-utils.
The first step in adding DRBD to the existing cluster is to configure the nodes to use the ELRepo-repository:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo yum install http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
...
Complete !
[jensd@node02 ~]$ sudo rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
[jensd@node02 ~]$ sudo yum install http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
...
Complete !After adding the repository, we can install drbd as before:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo yum install drbd84-utils kmod-drbd84
...
Complete !
[jensd@node02 ~]$ sudo yum install drbd84-utils kmod-drbd84
...
Complete !Create a (logical) volume for DRBD
DRBD provides a way to distribute a block device over multiple nodes. In order to do so, we need a block device to distribute (sound logical, doesn’t it). The block device can be any available device, it doesn’t need to be a logical volume but can be a pure physical partition too. For this post, I’ll add a new logical volume on both nodes to use as my distributed block device. The size of the devices needs to be equal on all nodes.
First I’ll check if I still have some free space in my volume group to create the logical volume:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo vgdisplay vg_drbd|grep Free
Free PE / Size 255 / 1020.00 MiB
[jensd@node02 ~]$ sudo vgdisplay vg_drbd|grep Free
Free PE / Size 255 / 1020.00 MiBAfter checking what is available, I’ll create a new logical volume, named lv_drbd0 in that volume group:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo lvcreate -n lv_drbd0 -l +100%FREE vg_drbd
Logical volume "lv_drbd0" created
[jensd@node02 ~]$ sudo lvcreate -n lv_drbd0 -l +100%FREE vg_drbd
Logical volume "lv_drbd0" createdAfter these steps, both nodes contain a logical volume called lv_drbd0 that are equal in size (1GB).
Configuring DRBD for Single-primary mode
Now that we have a block device to share, we’ll configure DRBD to do so. Our DRBD setup will be in single-primary mode. This means that only one of the nodes can be the primary. This means that the data is only manipulated from one point at a time. For other configurations, you will need non-standard file systems. The goal of my setup is to use a standard file system like EXT3, EXT4 or XFS.
Before we will start configure DRBD, we’ll have to open two TCP-ports on our firewall in order for the nodes to communicate with eachother. DRBD uses, by default, port 7788 and 7799.
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 7788 -j ACCEPT
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 7799 -j ACCEPT
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo service iptables save
[jensd@node02 ~]$ sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 7788 -j ACCEPT
[jensd@node02 ~]$ sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 7799 -j ACCEPT
[jensd@node02 ~]$ sudo service iptables save
The next step is to create the DRBD configuration files. These files need to be completely equal on all nodes in the cluster.
File /etc/drbd.d/global_common.conf (on node01 and node02):
global {
usage-count yes;
}
common {
net {
protocol C;
}
}File /etc/drbd.d/drbd0.res (on node01 and node02):
resource drbd0 {
disk /dev/vg_drbd/lv_drbd0;
device /dev/drbd0;
meta-disk internal;
on node01 {
address 192.168.202.101:7789;
}
on node02 {
address 192.168.202.102:7789;
}
}
Now that we have the configuration in place, it’s time to initialize our data:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo drbdadm create-md drbd0
initializing activity log
NOT initializing bitmap
Writing meta data...
New drbd meta data block successfully created.
successAt this point, we’re ready to start DRBD on both nodes and bring the drbd0 resource up. After bringing the resource up, let’s check the status:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo drbdadm up drbd0
[jensd@node01 ~]$ cat /proc/drbd

ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:f oos:1048508As you can see in the contents of /proc/drbd, DRBD marks this resource as inconsistent. This is because we didn’t tell DRBD who is the primary node. In the above output you can see that both nodes are thinging that they are the secondary node. All configuration files are identical on both nodes so at this point, they’re considered equal.
Let’s configure node01 as the primary and check the status again:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo drbdadm primary --force drbd0
[jensd@node01 ~]$ cat /proc/drbd
version: 8.4.5 (api:1/proto:86-101)

finish: 0:01:38 speed: 8,792 (8,792) K/sec
After a while, the synchronization finished and the resource is considered UpToDate:As you can see in the above output now, the data is synced from node01 (which we set as the primary node) to node02 (which is now the secondary node. The volume which we used (lv_drbd0) was empty but since DRBD is not looking at the contents (blocks) it still needs to synchronize the blocks on the volume.
[jensd@node01 ~]$ cat /proc/drbd

ns:1044412 nr:0 dw:0 dr:1044412 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:f oos:0To be sure, we can check this in another way. Here you can also clearly see who’s the primary and who’s the secondary:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo drbd-overview
0:drbd0/0 Connected Primary/Secondary UpToDate/UpToDate
[jensd@node02 ~]$ sudo drbd-overview
0:drbd0/0 Connected Primary/Secondary UpToDate/UpToDate
Create a file system on the DRBD resource
Now that the resource is synced over both nodes, we can start creating the actual file system for the block device. For DRBD, the contents of the file system isn’t important, DRBD only cares that the “blocks” are equal on both sides. This will also happen with the file system which we create:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/drbd0
meta-data=/dev/drbd0 isize=256 agcount=4, agsize=65276 blks
= sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=1

log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=853, version=2
= sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1
realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0After creating a filesystem on the DRBD resource, we can start putting data on the FS:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo mount /dev/drbd0 /mnt
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo mkdir /mnt/test
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo touch /mnt/f1
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo touch /mnt/f2
Test the failover
To do a (clean) manual failover, we can simply switch the primary and secondary nodes and check if the data got replicated to the second node and back:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ mount|grep /dev/drbd0
/dev/drbd0 on /mnt type xfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,noquota)
[jensd@node01 ~]$ ls -al /mnt/

In case you try to mount the resource on a node which is considered secondary, you should a message similar to this:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo mount /dev/drbd0 /mnt
mount: /dev/drbd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: mount /dev/drbd0 on /mnt failed: Wrong medium type
Add the DRBD resource to our previously configured Pacemaker/Corosync cluster
In my previous post, I created a cluster with Apache to serve webpages in a high available setup. both nodes had to have an identical set of webpages in order to server the exact same content regardless of which node was the active one. Now we’ll add the DRBD-resource to the cluster and move the data for the website to the resource.
To configure DRBD on our cluster, we’ll first edit the configuration as we want it to be and then push it to the actual, running configuration. To accomplish this, we can create a new CIB (Cluster Information Base). Basically it’s a file that contains the complete cluster configuration.
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo pcs cluster cib add_drbd
[jensd@node01 ~]$ ls -al add_drbd
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jensd jensd 6968 Nov 21 12:40 add_drbdIf you would look at the contents of the file, you would find the complete, currently active, configuration in there.
Now, let’s add the changes to the cib-file to include our DRBD resource:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo pcs -f add_drbd resource create webserver_data ocf:linbit:drbd drbd_resource=drbd0 op monitor interval=60s
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo pcs -f add_drbd resource master webserver_data_sync webserver_data master-max=1 master-node-max=1 clone-max=2 clone-node-max=1 notify=trueWe can query the CIB as we would do with the normal active configuration:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo pcs -f add_drbd resource show
virtual_ip (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2): Started
webserver (ocf::heartbeat:apache): Started
Master/Slave Set: webserver_data_sync [webserver_data]
Stopped: [ node01 node02 ]When the configuration is as want it to be, we can activate it by pushing it to the cluster:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo pcs cluster cib-push add_drbd
CIB updatedWhen looking at the status of our cluster now, we see that something clearly went wrong:

We’ll change the permissions to world writable (not secure) to fix this on both nodes:

type=CWD msg=audit(1416573839.047:692): cwd="/var/lib/pacemaker/cores"The difference is that DRBD does have access to the file now but SELinux is trying to prevent access. To see which SELinux boolean we need to enable, if there is one to allow access:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo tail -200 /var/log/audit/audit.log|grep AVC|tail -1|audit2allow -m drbd_0
module drbd_0 1.0;
require {
type cluster_var_lib_t;

class dir read;
}
#============= drbd_t ==============
#!!!! This avc can be allowed using the boolean 'daemons_enable_cluster_mode'
allow drbd_t cluster_var_lib_t:dir read;As the output of audit2allow states, we can set daemons_enable_cluster_mode to enabled on both nodes to fix this:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo setsebool daemons_enable_cluster_mode=1
[jensd@node02 ~]$ sudo setsebool daemons_enable_cluster_mode=1When restarting the cluster, things should look a little better. Unfortunately, there is still a problem which doesn’t allow us to stop the cluster. Again SELinux is not allow us to take this action. Which is clear when looking at /var/log/audit/audit.log:
type=AVC msg=audit(1416575077.693:1532): avc: denied { sys_admin } for pid=40528 comm="drbdsetup-84" capability=21 scontext=system_u:system_r:drbd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:drbd_t:s0 tclass=capabilityWe can allow this action by creating a new SELinux module and to load it:
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo tail -100 /var/log/audit/audit.log|grep AVC|tail -1|audit2allow -M drbd_1
******************** IMPORTANT ***********************
To make this policy package active, execute:

jensd@node01's password:
drbd_1.pp
[jensd@node02 ~]$ sudo semodule -i drbd_1.ppNow we can stop and start the cluster again and the output of the status command looks better:

Masters: [ node02 ]
Slaves: [ node01 ]The above output shows that the resource is successfully added and is started but since our master was still node02, this isn’t really how we want it. The master should be the node that is owning the virtual IP and is running the webserver.
First, we’ll create a filesystem resource on the cluster, using a new cib-file:
| 1 2 |
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo pcs cluster cib add_fs [jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo pcs -f add_fs resource create webserver_fs Filesystem device="/dev/drbd0" directory="/var/www/html" fstype="xfs" |
Then we’ll create some constraints for the added resource:
The filesystem of the webserver should be made available on the master:
| 1 |
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo pcs -f add_fs constraint colocation add webserver_fs webserver_data_sync INFINITY with-rsc-role=Master |
DRBD should first be started and then the file system should be made available:
| 1 2 |
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo pcs -f add_fs constraint order promote webserver_data_sync then start webserver_fs Adding webserver_data_sync webserver_fs (kind: Mandatory) (Options: first-action=promote then-action=start) |
Apache and the file system should be running on the same node
| 1 |
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo pcs -f add_fs constraint colocation add webserver webserver_fs INFINITY |
The file system needs to be made available before Apache is started:
| 1 2 |
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo pcs -f add_fs constraint order webserver_fs then webserver Adding webserver_fs webserver (kind: Mandatory) (Options: first-action=start then-action=start) |
Next step is to acutally apply the changes which we made in the cib-file on the actual running configuration:
| 1 2 |
[jensd@node01 ~]$ sudo pcs cluster cib-push add_fs CIB updated |
Normally, the actions should be performed immediately but I had to stop and start the cluster in order to get things working but this should be the result:
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 |

As the output shows, the DRBD master has become node01 and all resources were started on that node. Our constraints made sure that before the webserver was started, the virtual IP was available and that the DRBD-resource was mounted and available.
To be sure that the DRBD configuration went fine, we can check if our filesystem-resource did it’s work:
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
[jensd@node01 ~]$ mount|grep drbd0 /dev/drbd0 on /var/www/html type xfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,noquota) [jensd@node01 ~]$ ls -al /var/www/html/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 35 Nov 21 15:07 . drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 31 Nov 21 10:33 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Nov 21 12:26 f1 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Nov 21 12:26 f2 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 6 Nov 21 12:26 test |
Finally, we can add data for our website to the mount: Let’s start with creating an index.html on our DRBD file system:
| 1 2 3 4 5 |
[jensd@node02 ~]$ sudo vi /var/www/html/index.html [jensd@node02 ~]$ cat /var/www/html/index.html <html> <h1>DRBD</h1> </html> |
When stopping node01, everything should switch to node02 including the data which we just modified on node01:
