I have been trying to post about redhat cluster from quite long time.But today only I got a time to write about it. Redhat Linux become quite popular and most of the low end and mid-range server are migrating from Unix to Redhat Linux.Once of the recent survey stated that RISC servers(Oracle’s SPARC/IBM’s POWER) shipment is keep on reducing every year and X86 servers shipment has been increased rapidly. Itanium(HP-UX) is not in that competition at all.Since Redhat Linux is emerging in the market and most of the companies are building redhat cluster for High Availability.
So Let me start from Redhat Cluster packages installation and many more posts will follow about redhat cluster configuration soon.
So Let me start from Redhat Cluster packages installation and many more posts will follow about redhat cluster configuration soon.
System Configuration:
UANODE1 – cluster node 1 (192.168.2.200)
UANODE2 – Cluster node 2 (192.168.2.201)
UACM – Management server for luci.
1. Login to both cluster nodes and install “rgmanager” using yum repository.By default it installs “cman” and “ricci”.
[root@UANODE1 ~]# yum install rgmanager

3.To configure the redhat cluster, we need to install luci on non cluster node(Hostname-UACM).So that we will be having web interface accessibility in case of both cluster nodes down.
Note:You can also install luci on the cluster node but if the configured luci node is down,then you may not able to manage cluster using luci.

Adding following auto-detected host IDs (IP addresses/domain names), corresponding to `UANODE2' address, to the configuration of self-managed certificate `/var/lib/luci/etc/cacert.config' (you can change them by editing `/var/lib/luci/etc/cacert.config', removing the generated certificate `/var/lib/luci/certs/host.pem' and restarting luci):
(none suitable found, you can still do it manually as mentioned above)
Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
writing new private key to '/var/lib/luci/certs/host.pem'
Start luci... [ OK ]
Point your web browser to https://UANODE2:8084 (or equivalent) to access luci
[root@UANODE2 rc5.d]#

8.Click on “Manage Cluster” tab to configure new cluster.
9.Click on “Create” tab to begin the cluster configuration.
That all about redhat cluster suite installation on redhat Linux 6.3.

Hi,
You have said Start the luci services on UACM.(Non-cluster node).But your screenshot says you have started the service on UANODE2 – Cluster node 2 (192.168.2.201).
Please explain which step to follow!!!
Waiting for reply.
thank u
Prabodh

I don;t have dedicated server to manage these clusters. So i have installed luci on the one of the cluster node itself.
If you have the large cluster environment , then you can think of having dedicated system to manage the cluster.
