How to set up a Quorum Disk Witness on Debian 8

#1 Post by !ns@n3isth3m3mbran3 »

I am trying to set up a quorum witness server on a Debian 8 OS and am having difficulties.

On the Quorum Witness server side (corosync-qnetd Debian Package (https://packages.debian.org/sid/corosync-qnetd)) it is difficult to understand the steps to follow in the man page and what to configure on the witness end to make it work properly.

On the cluster side (2 node cluster; using corosync and pacemaker), after installing the corosync-qdevice Debian package (https://packages.debian.org/jessie-back ... nc-qdevice) I receive the following error:

Code: Select all

Some documentation I have found online regarding a quorum configuration on Linux stems from the RHEL docs, which clearly takes one through the steps - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/high_availability_add-on_reference/s1-quorumdev-haar.
I am having difficulties relating the steps between RHEL and Debian.

Thus what would be the syntactical steps to set up a 3rd node quorum witness server using the Debian packages available?
