About This Guide

Heartbeat is an open source clustering software for Linux. Heartbeat ensures high

availability and manageability of critical network resources including data, applications,

and services. It is a multinode clustering product that supports failover, failback, and

migration (load balancing) of individually managed cluster resources.

This guide is intended for administrators given the task of building Linux clusters. Basic

background information is provided to build up an understanding of the Heartbeat ar-

chitecture. Setup, conguration, and maintenance of a Heartbeat cluster are covered in

detail. Heartbeat offers a graphical user interface as well as many command line tools.

Both approaches are covered in detail to help the administrators choose the appropriate

tool matching their particular needs.

NOTE

This manual covers Heartbeat version 2 and higher. Whenever the authors use

the term “Heartbeat”, they refer to Heartbeat 2, even when no explicit version

number is given.

This guide contains the following:

Overview

Before starting to install and congure your cluster, learn about the features

Heartbeat offers. Familiarize yourself with the Heartbeat terminology and its basic

concepts.

Installation and Setup

Learn about hardware and software requirements that must be met before you can

consider installing and running your own cluster. Perform a basic installation and

conguration using the Heartbeat graphical user interface.

Setting Up a Simple Resource

After you have completed the basic cluster conguration, check out a quick step-

by-step instruction of how to congure an example resource. Choose from a GUI-

based approach or a command line-driven one.

Conguring and Managing Cluster Resources

Managing resources encompasses much more than just the initial conguration.

Learn how to use the Heartbeat graphical user interface to congure and manage

resources.

Manual Conguration of a Cluster

Managing resources encompasses much more than just the initial conguration.

Learn how to use the Heartbeat command line tools to congure and manage re-

sources.

Managing a Cluster

Heartbeat provides a comprehensive set of command line tools to assist you in

managing your own cluster. Get to know the most important ones for your daily

cluster management tasks.

Creating Resources

In case you consider writing your own resource agents for Heartbeat or modifying

existing ones, get some detailed background information about the different types

of resource agents and how to create them.

Troubleshooting

Managing your own cluster requires you to perform a certain amount of troubleshoot-

ing. Learn about the most common problems with Heartbeat and how to x them.

Terminology

Refer to this chapter for some basic Heartbeat terminology that helps you understand

the Heartbeat fundamentals.

About This Guide vii

Overview

Heartbeat is an open source server clustering system that ensures high availability and

manageability of critical network resources including data, applications, and services.

It is a multinode clustering product for Linux that supports failover, failback, and mi-

gration (load balancing) of individually managed cluster resources. Heartbeat is shipped

with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and provides you with the means to make virtual

machines (containing services) highly available.

This chapter introduces the main product features and benets of Heartbeat. Find sev-

eral exemplary scenarios for conguring clusters and learn about the components

making up a Heartbeat version 2 cluster. The last section provides an overview of the

Heartbeat architecture, describing the individual architecture layers and processes

within the cluster.

1.1 Product Features

Heartbeat includes several important features to help you ensure and manage the

availability of your network resources. These include:

• Support for Fibre Channel or iSCSI storage area networks

• Multi-node active cluster, containing up to 16 Linux servers. Any server in the

cluster can restart resources (applications, services, IP addresses, and le systems)

from a failed server in the cluster.

Overview 1

• A single point of administration through either a graphical Heartbeat tool or a

command line tool. Both tools let you congure and monitor your Heartbeat cluster.

•The ability to tailor a cluster to the specic applications and hardware infrastructure

that t your organization.

• Dynamic assignment and reassignment of server storage on an as-needed basis.

• Time-dependent conguration enables resources to fail back to repaired nodes at

specied times.

• Support for shared disk systems. Although shared disk systems are supported, they

are not required.

• Support for cluster le systems like OCFS 2.

• Support for cluster-aware logical volume managers like EVMS.

1.2 Product Benets

Heartbeat allows you to congure up to 16 Linux servers into a high-availability cluster,

where resources can be dynamically switched or moved to any server in the cluster.

Resources can be congured to automatically switch or be moved in the event of a re-

source server failure, or they can be moved manually to troubleshoot hardware or balance

the workload.

Heartbeat provides high availability from commodity components. Lower costs are

obtained through the consolidation of applications and operations onto a cluster.

Heartbeat also allows you to centrally manage the complete cluster and to adjust re-

sources to meet changing workload requirements (thus, manually “load balance” the

cluster).

An equally important benet is the potential reduction of unplanned service outages as

well as planned outages for software and hardware maintenance and upgrades.

Reasons that you would want to implement a Heartbeat cluster include:

• Increased availability

• Improved performance
