Corosync and HA-proxy

We will use corosync to create a virtual IP-address which is shared by two systems. One of the systems has the virtual IP-address. If the system goes down, the other system will take over the virtual IP-address. HA-proxy will be running on each of the hosts relaying incoming HTTP-requests to two webservers.

192.168.1.49 www (virtual IP-address)
192.168.1.50 haproxy01
192.168.1.51 haproxy02

Software

apt-get install corosync haproxy crmsh

Configuration

Before binding to the DNS name www make sure the DNS server knows that name. There is no physical or virtual network interfaces, so the DNS updates has to be done manually.

Corosync

Encryption

Edit /etc/corosync/corosync.conf and make the following changes.

totem {
        cluster_name: www
        crypto_cipher: aes256
        crypto_hash: sha512
}

Authentication Key

Generate the authkey. Note that this requires entropy, so use your system and the entropy will be generated. Speed this up by running dd if=/dev/vda of=/dev/null in another terminal.

corosync-keygen

Network

Add the local network and a multicast address to /etc/corosync/corosync.conf in the interface section.

interface {
        bindnetaddr: 192.168.1.0 
        mcastaddr: 239.192.1.1
}

Copy the configuration /etc/corosync/corosync.conf and the authkey /etc/corosync/authkey to the other host.

Restart corosync on both hosts to load the new configuration.

service corosync restart

The two nodes should now be configured to see each other. Run crm status to check.

HA-proxy

HA-proxy resource script

Download the HA-proxy resource script, place it in /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/haproxy and make it executeable.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thisismitch/cluster-agents/master/haproxy -O /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/haproxy
chmod +x /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/haproxy

This has to be done on both hosts.

Webfarm

Add the following to /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

listen webfarm 
        bind www:80
        mode http
        balance roundrobin
        cookie LBN insert indirect nocache
        option httpclose
        option forwardfor
        server haproxy01 www01:80 cookie node1 check
        server haproxy02 www02:80 cookie node2 check

Copy the configuration /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg to the other host.

Nodes

Do not kill the other node. This can be change later on, once fencing has been configured.

crm configure property stonith-enabled=false

Disable quorum due to two nodes only. This will make sure that the cluster keeps running if only one node is up.

crm configure property no-quorum-policy=ignore

Configure shared IP-address. This is the virtual IP-address.

crm configure primitive wwwSharedIP ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2 params ip=192.168.1.49 cidr_netmask=24 op monitor interval=5s

Create heartbeat for haproxy.

crm configure primitive wwwLoadBalance ocf:heartbeat:haproxy params conffile=/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg op monitor interval=10s

Make sure the same server has both IP and service at the same time.

crm configure group www wwwSharedIP wwwLoadBalance

Create the relation between IP-address and haproxy servers. This is important, as it prevents both haproxy servers from listening on the virtual IP at the same time.

currently gives: root@haproxy01:/etc/corosync# crm configure colocation haproxyWithIPs INFINITY: haproxy_wwwLoadBalance haproxy_wwwSharedIP

WARNING: haproxyWithIPs: resource haproxy_wwwLoadBalance is grouped, constraints should apply to the group

WARNING: haproxyWithIPs: resource haproxy_wwwSharedIP is grouped, constraints should apply to the group)

crm configure colocation haproxyWithIPs INFINITY: wwwLoadBalance wwwSharedIP

IP-address should be up before haproxy starts.

crm configure order haproxyAfterIPs mandatory: wwwSharedIP wwwLoadBalance

Restart HA-proxy on both hosts to load the new configuration.

service haproxy restart

Start over

run this rm /var/lib/heartbeat/pacemaker/cib*

Test it

while true; do wget --quiet http://www/ -O /dev/stdout; sleep 1; done
