6.4.2. Updating a Configuration Using scp

6.4.2. Updating a Configuration Using `scp`

To update the configuration using the scp command, perform the following steps:

At each node, stop the cluster software according to Section 6.1.2, “Stopping Cluster Software”. For example:

[root@example-01 ~]# service rgmanager stop
Stopping Cluster Service Manager:                          [  OK  ]
[root@example-01 ~]# service gfs2 stop
Unmounting GFS2 filesystem (/mnt/gfsA):                    [  OK  ]
Unmounting GFS2 filesystem (/mnt/gfsB):                    [  OK  ]
[root@example-01 ~]# service clvmd stop
Signaling clvmd to exit                                    [  OK  ]
clvmd terminated                                           [  OK  ]
[root@example-01 ~]# service cman stop
Stopping cluster: 
   Leaving fence domain...                                 [  OK  ]
   Stopping gfs_controld...                                [  OK  ]
   Stopping dlm_controld...                                [  OK  ]
   Stopping fenced...                                      [  OK  ]
   Stopping cman...                                        [  OK  ]
   Waiting for corosync to shutdown:                       [  OK  ]
   Unloading kernel modules...                             [  OK  ]
   Unmounting configfs...                                  [  OK  ]
[root@example-01 ~]#

At any node in the cluster, edit the /etc/cluster/cluster.conf file.
Update the config_version attribute by incrementing its value (for example, changing from config_version="2" to config_version="3">).
Save /etc/cluster/cluster.conf.
Validate the updated file against the cluster schema (cluster.rng) by running the ccs_config_validate command. For example:
```
[root@example-01 ~]# ccs_config_validate 
Configuration validates
```
If the updated file is valid, use the scp command to propagate it to /etc/cluster/ in each cluster node.
Verify that the updated configuration file has been propagated.

At each node, start the cluster software according to Section 6.1.1, “Starting Cluster Software”. For example:

[root@example-01 ~]# service cman start
Starting cluster: 
   Checking Network Manager...                             [  OK  ]
   Global setup...                                         [  OK  ]
   Loading kernel modules...                               [  OK  ]
   Mounting configfs...                                    [  OK  ]
   Starting cman...                                        [  OK  ]
   Waiting for quorum...                                   [  OK  ]
   Starting fenced...                                      [  OK  ]
   Starting dlm_controld...                                [  OK  ]
   Starting gfs_controld...                                [  OK  ]
   Unfencing self...                                       [  OK  ]
   Joining fence domain...                                 [  OK  ]
[root@example-01 ~]# service clvmd start
Starting clvmd:                                            [  OK  ]
Activating VG(s):   2 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_example" now active
                                                           [  OK  ]
[root@example-01 ~]# service gfs2 start
Mounting GFS2 filesystem (/mnt/gfsA):                      [  OK  ]
Mounting GFS2 filesystem (/mnt/gfsB):                      [  OK  ]
[root@example-01 ~]# service rgmanager start
Starting Cluster Service Manager:                          [  OK  ]
[root@example-01 ~]#

At any cluster node, run cman_tools nodes to verify that the nodes are functioning as members in the cluster (signified as "M" in the status column, "Sts"). For example:

[root@example-01 ~]# cman_tool nodes
Node  Sts   Inc   Joined               Name
   1   M    548   2010-09-28 10:52:21  node-01.example.com
   2   M    548   2010-09-28 10:52:21  node-02.example.com
   3   M    544   2010-09-28 10:52:21  node-03.example.com

At any node, using the clustat utility, verify that the HA services are running as expected. In addition, clustat displays status of the cluster nodes. For example:

[root@example-01 ~]#clustat
Cluster Status for mycluster @ Wed Nov 17 05:40:00 2010
Member Status: Quorate

 Member Name                             ID   Status
 ------ ----                             ---- ------
 node-03.example.com                         3 Online, rgmanager
 node-02.example.com                         2 Online, rgmanager
 node-01.example.com                         1 Online, Local, rgmanager

 Service Name                   Owner (Last)                   State         
 ------- ----                   ----- ------                   -----           
 service:example_apache         node-01.example.com            started       
 service:example_apache2        (none)                         disabled

If the cluster is running as expected, you are done updating the configuration.
