Instructions for PCS - Pacemaker/Corosync configuration system on Debian
========================================================================

1. Adding PCS to an existing cluster
------------------------------------

These instructions assume you wish to install PCS on a running
Pacemaker/Corosync cluster already configured using crmsh.

First of all, install pcs package on all cluster nodes and
check that pcsd service is running on each of the nodes:

  # service pcsd status
  ● pcsd.service - PCS GUI and remote configuration interface
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pcsd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Fri 2019-01-11 13:22:19 UTC; 22h ago
       Docs: man:pcsd(8)
             man:pcs(8)
   Main PID: 26533 (pcsd)
      Tasks: 1 (limit: 1149)
     Memory: 25.5M
     CGroup: /system.slice/pcsd.service
             └─26533 /usr/bin/python3 -Es /usr/sbin/pcsd

Service pcsd uses TCP port 2224 so make sure this port is open
for access by all cluster nodes.

Next, set a password for hacluster user on all cluster nodes:

  # passwd hacluster
  Enter new UNIX password:
  Retype new UNIX password:
  passwd: password updated successfully

Finally, authenticate the cluster nodes by running only on one of them:

  # pcs cluster auth
  Username: hacluster
  Password:
  node1: Authorized
  node2: Authorized

Cluster is now fully operational and both crm and pcs commands can
be used to manage cluster resources:

  # pcs cluster status
  Cluster Status:
   Stack: corosync
   Current DC: node2 (version 2.0.1-15814c6c0d) - partition with quorum
   Last updated: Sat Jan 12 11:43:01 2019
   Last change: Sat Jan 12 11:36:04 2019 by hacluster via crmd on node2
   2 nodes configured
   1 resource configured

  PCSD Status:
    node1: Online
    node2: Online


2. Initializing a new cluster using PCS
---------------------------------------

These instructions assume you wish to create a new Pacemaker/Corosync
cluster using PCS.

WARNING: Do not run the commands from this section on a working
cluster as they will delete the existing cluster configuration
and therefore influence running cluster resources.

First of all, install pcs package on all cluster nodes.  After
package installation cluster services (corosync, pacemaker and pcsd)
should be running on all nodes with default configuration.

Next, set a password for hacluster user on all cluster nodes:

  # passwd hacluster
  Enter new UNIX password:
  Retype new UNIX password:
  passwd: password updated successfully

Then authenticate the cluster nodes by running:

  # pcs host auth node1 addr=10.0.0.1 node2 addr=10.0.0.2
  Username: hacluster
  Password:
  node1: Authorized
  node2: Authorized

Finally, the cluster is configured and started by running on one
of the nodes:

  # pcs cluster setup debian node1 addr=10.0.0.1 node2 addr=10.0.0.2 --force --enable --start --wait
  Warning: node1: Running cluster services: 'corosync', 'pacemaker', the host seems to be in a cluster already
