Rasperry PI :: IPVS on Fedora Remix 18-2

28-01-2013.


1. - Hardware Requirements  - 1x per each PI:

for                    |    what                      |   why               | Vendor 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USB Path               |  Powered USB HUB             |   Multible USB dev  | i.e Belkim
IPVS Cluster sync      |  GPIO RS232 Serial adaper    |  avoid split brains | https://www.adafruit.com/products/954 
Linux Console          |  usb serial Adapter          | Serial Console      | multible , look for an linux supported one
2. USB Ethernet 100MB  |  usb ethernet adapter        | Heartbeat sync      |  multible , look for an linux supported one

The 2. usb ethernet may optional . read the http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/software/ipvs.html pages.
Myself hate  not stable clusters ;-) . 

You need an Serial NULLmodem kabel - Google "serial null modem cable" , or look for an local vendor nearby.


2. - Software Requirements :

 Debian 6 for PI seems NOT deliver the IPVS Modules .
 Fedora Remix 17/18 seems to deliver the IPVS Modules . 

 As kernel recompile take 6-9h, and i wanted no manual kernel updates,  
 I chosed FC remix 18 rasp !! 


3. IPVS Planing

IPVS Beginners :  RTFM - read the Fucking manuals :-)

  -> http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/docs/ha/heartbeat_ldirectord.html
 -> http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/software/ipvs.html
 -> http://www.linux-ha.org/wiki/Pacemaker
 -> http://www.linux-ha.org/wiki/Heartbeat
  .. some more wikis exist On Internet for detailed  HowTows.


4. IPVS with PI - Hardware setup

A -> setup 2 Pi with FC 18 rasp , Both the same config 
B -> change serial console to /dev/USB01 
    for this you need to update the boot config , change console=  to an USB tty.
    see this page : http://www.irrational.net/2012/04/19/using-the-raspberry-pis-serial-port/

C -> install  an GPIO RS 232 adapter
   i.e https://www.adafruit.com/products/954
   i.e http://wolfpaulus.com/journal/embedded/raspberry_serial
   
D -> Plug an Serial Nullmodem Cabel between the both GPIO RS 232 adapter 
     
  see : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem
  see : http://www.linux-archive.org/centos/188608-cluster-heart-beat-using-cross-over-cable.html

  Test with minicom : https://nmi.cs.wisc.edu/node/878

If the test hast been succeed in both directions , 
then you ready to use it for the "ANTI SPLIT BRAIN " crossover heartbeat cable.
RTFM..


5 -> install required IPVS RPMs:

[root@lb1 ha.d]# rpm -qa | egrep -e '(ipvsadm|pacemaker|drbd-|httpd-|mon.armv5tel|bind-)' | egrep -v '(libmicro|rpcbind)'

6. HA Setup

Bring IP apache, bind  on each LB.
Setup Minimalistc test pages as Wikis suggest
Setup NTP Both LB require to have the same date & Time !!
Setup i.e Bind as local cache, this speedup lookups for ldirectord.

Bring UP heartbeat , configure it 
Bring UP ldirectord , configure it 
TEST the cluster , poweroff one LB node,  the second must take over !

Asume you have allready REAL servers setup , so start using them 


Follow i.e http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9838 / 
          http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/docs/ha/heartbeat_ldirectord.html


ALL well done ?, have FUN ;-)
Cheers.




>We hope you will contribute much and well. >You will probably want to read the help pages. >Again, welcome and have fun!

Wee will see what , when , where .. soon :-)
