after-sb-0pri policy

possible policies are:

disconnect
No automatic resynchronization, simply disconnect.

discard-younger-primary
Auto sync from the node that was primary before the
split-brain situation happened.

discard-older-primary
Auto sync from the node that became primary as second
during the split-brain situation.

discard-zero-changes
In case one node did not write anything since the split
brain became evident, sync from the node that wrote some-
thing to the node that did not write anything. In case
none wrote anything this policy uses a random decision to
perform a "resync" of 0 blocks. In case both have written
something this policy disconnects the nodes.

discard-least-changes
Auto sync from the node that touched more blocks during
the split brain situation.

discard-node-NODENAME
Auto sync to the named node.


after-sb-1pri policy

possible policies are:

disconnect
No automatic resynchronization, simply disconnect.

consensus
Discard the version of the secondary if the outcome of
the after-sb-0pri algorithm would also destroy the cur-
rent secondary’s data. Otherwise disconnect.

violently-as0p
Always take the decision of the after-sb-0pri algorithm.
Even if that causes an erratic change of the primary’s
view of the data. This is only useful if you use a 1node
FS (i.e. not OCFS2 or GFS) with the allow-two-primaries
flag, _AND_ if you really know what you are doing. This
is DANGEROUS and MAY CRASH YOUR MACHINE if you have an FS
mounted on the primary node.

discard-secondary
Discard the secondary’s version.

call-pri-lost-after-sb
Always honor the outcome of the after-sb-0pri
algorithm. In case it decides the current secondary has
the right data, it calls the "pri-lost-after-sb" handler
on the current primary.
after-sb-2pri policy

possible policies are:

disconnect
No automatic resynchronization, simply disconnect.

violently-as0p
Always take the decision of the after-sb-0pri algorithm.
Even if that causes an erratic change of the primary’s
view of the data. This is only useful if you use a 1node
FS (i.e. not OCFS2 or GFS) with the allow-two-primaries
flag, _AND_ if you really know what you are doing. This
is DANGEROUS and MAY CRASH YOUR MACHINE if you have an FS
mounted on the primary node.

call-pri-lost-after-sb
Call the "pri-lost-after-sb" helper program on one of the
machines. This program is expected to reboot the machine,
i.e. make it secondary.

always-asbp
Normally the automatic after-split-brain policies are only used
if current states of the UUIDs do not indicate the presence of a
third node.

With this option you request that the automatic after-split-
brain policies are used as long as the data sets of the nodes
are somehow related. This might cause a full sync, if the UUIDs
indicate the presence of a third node. (Or double faults led to
strange UUID sets.)

rr-conflict policy

To solve the cases when the outcome of the resync decision is
incompatible with the current role assignment in the cluster.

disconnect
No automatic resynchronization, simply disconnect.

violently
Sync to the primary node is allowed, violating the
assumption that data on a block device are stable for one
of the nodes. Dangerous, do not use.

call-pri-lost
Call the "pri-lost" helper program on one of the
machines. This program is expected to reboot the machine,
i.e. make it secondary.

Replicated Failover Domain Controller and file server using LDAP


1.0. Configuring Samba

2.0. Configuring LDAP

3.0. Initialization LDAP Database

4.0. User Management

5.0. Heartbeat HA Configuration

6.0. DRBD

7.0. BIND DNS



6.1. Requirements

High Availability and data replication should not replace traditional backups such as tape and external media devices, especially if you are using this configuration and are not familiar with the workings.

DRBD Configuration

Primary/Secondary

Primary/Primary <-- to do

DRBD is a kernel module which has the ability to network 2 machines to provide Raid1 over LAN. It is assumed that we have two identical drives in both machines; all data on this device will be destroyed.

If you are updating your kernel or version of DRBD, make sure DRBD is stopped on both machines. Never attempt to run different versions of DRBD, this means both machines need the same kernel.

You will need to install the DRBD kernel Module. We will build our own RPM kernel modules so it is optimized for our architecture.

I have tested many different kernels with DRBD, some are not stable so you will need to check Google to make sure your kernel is compatible with the particular DRBD release, most of the time this isn’t an issue.

Please browse this list http://www.linbit.com/support/drbd-current/ and look for packages available.

If you are having problems compileing the software and getting make errors, things can become complicated.

It is best to compile drbd and kernel modules from source to suit your kernel. But if you get make errors you should not have any issues finding prebuilt packages for centOS, RHEL, all Fedora Core versions that work just fine.

Packages for Fedora Core 6 x86 and x86-64 Check here for Fedora Core 6 packages http://atrpms.net/dist/fc6/drbd/

6.2. Installation

Step1.

Extract the latest stable version of DRBD.

[root@node1 stable]# tar zxvf drbd-0.7.20.tar.gz
[root@node1 stable]# cd drbd-0.7.20
[root@node1 drbd-0.7.20]#


Step2.

It is nice to make your own rpm for your distribution. It makes upgrades seamless.

This will give us a RPM build specifically to our kernel, it may take some time.

[root@node1 drbd-0.7.20]# make
[root@node1 drbd-0.7.20]# make rpm

If you get make errors, try and find an RPM for your distribution.

Step3.

[root@node1 drbd-0.7.20]# cd dist RPMS/i386/

[root@node1 i386]# ls
drbd-0.7.20-1.i386.rpm
drbd-debuginfo-0.7.20-1.i386.rpm
drbd-km-2.6.14_1.1656_FC4smp-0.7.20-1.i386.rpm

Step4.

We will now install DRBD and our Kernel module which we built earlier.

[root@node1 i386]# rpm -Uvh drbd-0.7.20-1.i386.rpm drbd-debuginfo-0.7.20-1.i386.rpm 
 drbd-km-2.6.14_1.1656_FC4smp-0.7.20-1.i386.rpm

Step5.

Login to node 2 the backup domain controller and do the same.

6.3. Configuration

In the example throughout this document we have linked /dev/hdd1 to /dev/drbd0; your however may be a different device, it could be SCSI.

All data on the device /dev/hdd will be destroyed.


Step1.

We are going to create a partition on /dev/hdd1 using fdisk. Your actuall device will most likely differ from /dev/hdd

[root@node1]# fdisk /dev/hdd1

Command (m for help): m
Command action

  a   toggle a bootable flag
  b   edit bsd disklabel
  c   toggle the dos compatibility flag
  d   delete a partition
  l   list known partition types
  m   print this menu
  n   add a new partition
  o   create a new empty DOS partition table
  p   print the partition table
  q   quit without saving changes
  s   create a new empty Sun disklabel
  t   change a partition's system id
  u   change display/entry units
  v   verify the partition table
  w   write table to disk and exit
  x   extra functionality (experts only)

Command (m for help): d

No partition is defined yet!

Command (m for help): n
Command action
e   extended
p   primary partition (1-4) p
Partition number (1-4): 1
First cylinder (1-8677, default 1):
Using default value 1
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-8677, default 8677):
Using default value 8677
Command (m for help): w

Step2.

Now login to node2 the backup domain controller and fdisk /dev/hdd1 as per above; or your chosen device.

6.3.1. drbd.conf

Create this file on both you master and slave server, it should be identical however it is not a requirement. As long as the partition size is the same any mount point can be used.


Step1.

The below file is fairly self explanatory, you see the real disk link to the DRBD kernel module device.

Make sure you set your hostname as well, otherwise DRBD will not start.

[root@node1]# vi /etc/drbd.conf

# Datadrive (/data) /dev/hdd1 80GB

resource drbd1 {
 protocol C;
 disk {
   on-io-error panic;
 }
 net {
   max-buffers 2048;
   ko-count 4;
   on-disconnect reconnect;
 }
 syncer {
   rate 10000;
 }
 on node1.differentialdesign.org {
   device    /dev/drbd0;
   disk      /dev/hdd1;
   address   10.0.0.1:7789;
   meta-disk internal;
 }
 on node2.differentialdesign.org {
   device    /dev/drbd0;
   disk      /dev/hdd1;
   address   10.0.0.2:7789;
   meta-disk internal;
 }
}

Step2.

[root@node1]# scp /etc/drbd.conf root@node2:/etc/

6.3.2. Initialization

In the following steps we will configure the disks to synchronize and choose a master node.

Step1

On the Primary Domain Controller

[root@node1]# service drbd start

On the Backup Domain Controller

[root@node2]# service drbd start


Step2.

You can see both devices are ready, and waiting for a Primary drive to be activated which will do an initial synchronization to the secondary device.

[root@node1]# service drbd status
drbd driver loaded OK; device status:
version: 0.7.17 (api:77/proto:74)
SVN Revision: 2093 build by root@node1, 2006-04-23 14:40:20

   ns:25127936 nr:3416 dw:23988760 dr:4936449 al:19624 bm:1038 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0


Step3.

Stop the heartbeat service on both nodes.


Step4.

We are now telling DRBD to make node1 the primary drive; this will overwrite all data on the secondary device.

[root@node1]#  drbdadm -- --do-what-I-say primary all
[root@node1 ~]# service drbd status
drbd driver loaded OK; device status:
version: 0.7.23 (api:79/proto:74)
SVN Revision: 2686 build by root@node1, 2007-01-23 20:26:13
0: cs:SyncSource st:Primary/Secondary ld:Consistent

       finish: 0:01:44 speed: 4,356 (4,088) K/sec

Step5.

Create a filesystem on our RAID devices.

[root@node1]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/drbd0

6.4. Testing

We have a 2 node cluster replicating drive data, its time to test a failover.


Step1.

Start the heartbeat service on both nodes.


Step2.

On node1 we can see the status of DRBD.

[root@node1 ~]# service drbd status
drbd driver loaded OK; device status:
version: 0.7.23 (api:79/proto:74)
0: cs:Connected st:Primary/Secondary ld:Consistent
   ns:1536 nr:0 dw:1372 dr:801 al:4 bm:6 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0
[root@node1 ~]#

On node2 we can see the status of DRBD.

[root@node2 ~]# service drbd status
drbd driver loaded OK; device status:
version: 0.7.23 (api:79/proto:74)
SVN Revision: 2686 build by root@node2, 2007-01-23 20:26:03
0: cs:Connected st:Secondary/Primary ld:Consistent
   ns:0 nr:1484 dw:1484 dr:0 al:0 bm:6 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0
[root@node2 ~]#

That all looks good; we can see the devices are consistent and ready for use.


Step3.

Now let’s check the mount point we created in the heartbeat haresources file.

We can see heartbeat has successfully mounted “/dev/drbd0 to the /data directory” of course your device will not have any data on it yet.

[root@node1 ~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                      35G   14G   20G  41% /
/dev/hdc1              99M   21M   74M  22% /boot
/dev/shm              506M     0  506M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/drbd0             74G   37G   33G  53% /data
[root@node1 ~]#


Step4.

Login to node1 and execute the following command; once heartbeat is stopped it should only take a few seconds to migrate the services to node2.


[root@node1 ~]# service heartbeat stop
Stopping High-Availability services:
                                         [  OK  ]

We can see drbd change state to secondary on node1.

[root@node1 ~]# service drbd status
drbd driver loaded OK; device status:
version: 0.7.23 (api:79/proto:74)
SVN Revision: 2686 build by root@node1, 2007-01-23 20:26:13
0: cs:Connected st:Secondary/Primary ld:Consistent
   ns:5616 nr:85492 dw:90944 dr:2162 al:9 bm:260 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0


Step5.

Now let’s check that status of DRBD on node2; we can see it has changed state and become the primary.

[root@node2 ~]# service drbd status
drbd driver loaded OK; device status:
version: 0.7.23 (api:79/proto:74)
 SVN Revision: 2686 build by root@node2, 2007-01-23 20:26:03
0: cs:Connected st:Primary/Secondary ld:Consistent
   ns:4 nr:518132 dw:518136 dr:17 al:0 bm:220 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0
1: cs:Connected st:Primary/Secondary ld:Consistent
   ns:28 nr:520252 dw:520280 dr:85 al:0 bm:199 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0

Check that node2 has mounted the device.

[root@node2 ~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                      35G   12G   22G  35% /
/dev/hdc1              99M   17M   78M  18% /boot
/dev/shm              506M     0  506M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdh1             111G   97G  7.6G  93% /storage
/dev/drbd0             74G   37G   33G  53% /data
[root@node2 ~]#


Step6.

Finally start the heartbeat service on node1 and be sure that all processes migrate back.


6.5. DRBD 8.0 GFS2 Primary/Primary Clustered Filesystem

Tested with Fedora 8

The following section is not intended for use.

- GFS must be used for 8.0 primary/primary

Using DRBD we can create a clustered filesystem and avoid expensive SAN and Filer devices. This also opens up gateways for those of us that wish to run CTDB clustered Samba on a 2 node cluster.


Step1.

Install GFS2 on the node. With x86-64 never install the i386 packages for GFS or or you will receive an error "/usr/sbin/cman_tool: aisexec daemon didn't start"

[root@core-01 ~]# yum install gfs2-utils.x86_64
[root@core-01 ~]# yum install cman.x86_64
[root@core-01 ~]# yum install openais-0.80.1-6.x86_64

Step2.

In the below example configuration file we have called our 2 nodes core-01 and core-02 respectively; the clustername is "hardcore".

Edit the gfs2 cluster configuration file; this file is to be identical on both nodes.

"Ordinarily, the loss of quorum after one out of two nodes fails will prevent the remaining node from continuing (if both nodes have one vote.) Special configuration options can be set to allow the one remaining node to continue operating if the other fails. To do this only two nodes, each with one vote, can be defined in cluster.conf. The two_node and expected_votes values must then be set to 1 in the cman section as follows."

[root@core-01 ~]# vi /etc/cluster/cluster.conf 
[root@core-01 ~]# scp /etc/cluster/cluster.conf root@core-02:/etc/cluster/
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster name="hardcore" config_version="2">  

   <cman two_node="1" expected_votes="1">
   </cman>
   <clusternodes>
     <clusternode name="core-01" votes="1" nodeid="1">
      <fence>
       <method name="single">
        <device name="human" ipaddr="192.168.0.2"/>
      </method>
     </fence>
    </clusternode>
    <clusternode name="core-02" votes="1" nodeid="2">
     <fence>
      <method name="single">
        <device name="human" ipaddr="192.168.0.3"/>
      </method>
     </fence>
   </clusternode>
  </clusternodes>
  <fence_devices>
  <fence_device name="human" agent="fence_manual"/> 
 </fence_devices>
</cluster>


Step3.

On the Primary node edit /etc/drbd.conf; both drbd.conf are to be identical on both nodes.

Manual recovery is recommended to isolate root cause of the failure. In the below configuration file DRBD will attempt automatic recovery which may not be desirable in some situations.

As per the drbd.conf manual page (man 5 drbd.conf) there are several actions we can take to achieve an automatic recovery from a failed node.

I put this in here because some people are lazy and do not read man pages. Please read the man page for drbd.conf as these options may have impact on your vital date

The DRBD team have written a great document which goes into detail about DRBD & GFS; http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/ch-gfs.html

after-sb-0pri policy

possible policies are:

             disconnect
                    No automatic resynchronization, simply disconnect.
             discard-younger-primary
                    Auto  sync  from  the  node  that  was primary before the
                    split-brain situation happened.
             discard-older-primary
                    Auto sync from the node that  became  primary  as  second
                    during the split-brain situation.
             discard-zero-changes
                    In  case  one node did not write anything since the split
                    brain became evident, sync from the node that wrote some-
                    thing  to  the  node that did not write anything. In case
                    none wrote anything this policy uses a random decision to
                    perform a "resync" of 0 blocks. In case both have written
                    something this policy disconnects the nodes.
             discard-least-changes
                    Auto sync from the node that touched more  blocks  during
                    the split brain situation.
             discard-node-NODENAME
                    Auto sync to the named node.


after-sb-1pri policy

possible policies are:

             disconnect
                    No automatic resynchronization, simply disconnect.
             consensus
                    Discard  the  version  of the secondary if the outcome of
                    the after-sb-0pri algorithm would also destroy  the  cur-
                    rent secondary’s data. Otherwise disconnect.
             violently-as0p
                    Always  take the decision of the after-sb-0pri algorithm.
                    Even if that causes an erratic change  of  the  primary’s
                    view of the data.  This is only useful if you use a 1node
                    FS (i.e.  not OCFS2 or GFS) with the  allow-two-primaries
                    flag,  _AND_ if you really know what you are doing.  This
                    is DANGEROUS and MAY CRASH YOUR MACHINE if you have an FS
                    mounted on the primary node.
             discard-secondary
                    Discard the secondary’s version.
             call-pri-lost-after-sb
                    Always honor the outcome of the after-sb-0pri
                     algorithm.  In case it decides the current secondary has
                    the right data, it calls the "pri-lost-after-sb"  handler
                    on the current primary.

after-sb-2pri policy

             possible policies are:
             disconnect
                    No automatic resynchronization, simply disconnect.
             violently-as0p
                    Always  take the decision of the after-sb-0pri algorithm.
                    Even if that causes an erratic change  of  the  primary’s
                    view of the data.  This is only useful if you use a 1node
                    FS (i.e.  not OCFS2 or GFS) with the  allow-two-primaries
                    flag,  _AND_ if you really know what you are doing.  This
                    is DANGEROUS and MAY CRASH YOUR MACHINE if you have an FS
                    mounted on the primary node.
             call-pri-lost-after-sb
                    Call the "pri-lost-after-sb" helper program on one of the
                    machines. This program is expected to reboot the machine,
                    i.e. make it secondary.
        always-asbp
             Normally  the automatic after-split-brain policies are only used
             if current states of the UUIDs do not indicate the presence of a
             third node.
             With  this  option  you  request that the automatic after-split-
             brain policies are used as long as the data sets  of  the  nodes
             are  somehow related. This might cause a full sync, if the UUIDs
             indicate the presence of a third node. (Or double faults led  to
             strange UUID sets.)

rr-conflict policy

             To  solve  the  cases when the outcome of the resync decision is
             incompatible with the current role assignment in the cluster.
             disconnect
                    No automatic resynchronization, simply disconnect.
             violently
                    Sync to  the  primary  node  is  allowed,  violating  the
                    assumption that data on a block device are stable for one

Step4.

Now lets start up GFS2.

[root@core-01 ~]# cman_tool nodes
cman_tool: Cannot open connection to cman, is it running ?
[root@core-1 ~]# service cman start
Starting cluster: 
  Loading modules... done
  Mounting configfs... done
  Starting ccsd... done
  Starting cman... 

If cman hangs at this point check /var/log/messages for messages such as:

 core-1 openais[2942]: [TOTEM] The consensus timeout expired.
 core-1 openais[2942]: [TOTEM] entering GATHER state from 3.
[root@core-01 ~]# vi /etc/ais/openais.conf

look for the following line and change the bindnetaddr to listen on the network address.

               bindnetaddr: 192.168.0.0
              # bindnetaddr: 192.168.2.0

If you still receive the error diable SELinux and stop iptables.

[root@core-01 ~]# service cman start
Starting cluster: 
  Loading modules... done
  Mounting configfs... done
  Starting ccsd... done
  Starting cman... done
  Starting daemons... done
  Starting fencing... 

At this point fencing will not start because it is waiting for core-02 to join.

[root@core-01 ~]# cman_tool nodes

Time to start gfs2 on core-02

[root@core-02 ~]# service cman start

                                                          [  OK  ]

Now lets check the status of the cluster.

[root@core-01 ~]# cman_tool nodes

gfs              2     gfs2-01  00040001 none        
[1 2]


Step5.

Start DRBD on both nodes

DRBD will wait for core-02

[root@core-01 ~]# service drbd start Starting DRBD resources: [ d0 d1 s0 s1 n0 n1 ]. ......

[root@core-01 ~]# service drbd status
drbd driver loaded OK; device status:
version: 8.2.4 (api:88/proto:86-88)
GIT-hash: fc00c6e00a1b6039bfcebe37afa3e7e28dbd92fa build by root@core-01, 2008-02-13 22:22:18

   ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0
       resync: used:0/31 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0
       act_log: used:0/127 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0
1: cs:WFConnection st:Secondary/Unknown ds:UpToDate/DUnknown C r---

       act_log: used:0/127 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0

Start DRBD on core-02

[root@core-02 ~]# service drbd start
Starting DRBD resources:    [ d0 d1 s0 s1 n0 n1 ].

Now we can see both nodes have clustered filesystem synchronized.

[root@core-01 ~]# service drbd status
drbd driver loaded OK; device status:
version: 8.2.4 (api:88/proto:86-88)
GIT-hash: fc00c6e00a1b6039bfcebe37afa3e7e28dbd92fa build by root@core-01, 2008-02-13 22:22:18

   ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0
       resync: used:0/31 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0
       act_log: used:0/127 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0
1: cs:Connected st:Primary/Primary ds:UpToDate/UpToDate C r---
   ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0
       resync: used:0/31 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0
       act_log: used:0/127 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0

Step6.

We need to specify 2 journals as each cluster node requires its own.

Referencing back to our cluster.conf file we have chosen hardcore as our cluster name. We will call the clustered filesystem gfs2-00.

[root@core-01 ~]# mkfs.gfs2 -t hardcore:gfs2-00 -p lock_gulm -j 2 /dev/drbd0

Are you sure you want to proceed? [y/n] y

Device:                    /dev/drbd0
Blocksize:                 4096
Device Size                465.76 GB (122096000 blocks)
Filesystem Size:           465.76 GB (122095999 blocks)
Journals:                  3
Resource Groups:           1864
Locking Protocol:          "lock_dlm"
Lock Table:                "core-01:gfs2-00"

Now do the same for the our second disk we have defined in drbd.conf.

[root@core-01 ~]# mkfs.gfs2 -t hardcore:gfs2-01 -p lock_gulm -j 2 /dev/drbd1

Are you sure you want to proceed? [y/n] y

Device:                    /dev/drbd1
Blocksize:                 4096
Device Size                465.76 GB (122096000 blocks)
Filesystem Size:           465.76 GB (122095999 blocks)
Journals:                  3
Resource Groups:           1864
Locking Protocol:          "lock_dlm"
Lock Table:                "core-01:gfs2-01"


Step7.

Now we have created the filesystem we can go ahead and mount it.

If you are not able to mount the file system check that fence is in a running state.

/sbin/mount.gfs2: lock_dlm_join: gfs_controld join error: -22
/sbin/mount.gfs2: error mounting lockproto lock_dlm


[root@core-01 ~]# mount -t gfs2 /dev/drbd0 /gfs2-00 -v
/sbin/mount.gfs2: mount /dev/drbd0 /gfs2-00
/sbin/mount.gfs2: parse_opts: opts = "rw"
/sbin/mount.gfs2:   clear flag 1 for "rw", flags = 0
/sbin/mount.gfs2: parse_opts: flags = 0
/sbin/mount.gfs2: parse_opts: extra = ""
/sbin/mount.gfs2: parse_opts: hostdata = ""
/sbin/mount.gfs2: parse_opts: lockproto = ""
/sbin/mount.gfs2: parse_opts: locktable = ""
/sbin/mount.gfs2: message to gfs_controld: asking to join mountgroup:
/sbin/mount.gfs2: write "join /gfs2-00 gfs2 lock_dlm hardcore:gfs2-00 rw /dev/drbd0"
/sbin/mount.gfs2: message from gfs_controld: response to join request:
/sbin/mount.gfs2: lock_dlm_join: read "0"
/sbin/mount.gfs2: message from gfs_controld: mount options:

/sbin/mount.gfs2: lock_dlm_join: hostdata: "hostdata=jid=0:id=131073:first=0"
/sbin/mount.gfs2: lock_dlm_join: extra_plus: "hostdata=jid=0:id=131073:first=0"
/sbin/mount.gfs2: mount(2) ok
/sbin/mount.gfs2: lock_dlm_mount_result: write "mount_result /gfs2-00 gfs2 0"
/sbin/mount.gfs2: read_proc_mounts: device = "/dev/drbd0"
/sbin/mount.gfs2: read_proc_mounts: opts = "rw,relatime,hostdata=jid=0:id=131073:first=0"


Now lets add the mounts to fstab so we can have them mount when system boots

[root@core-01 ~]# vi /etc/fstab 
#GFS DRBD MOUNT POINTS
/dev/drbd0              /gfs2-00                gfs2    defaults        1 1
/dev/drbd1              /gfs2-01                gfs2    defaults        1 1
