Starting the daemon on boot --------------------------- You may wish to add these lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local to start the service: if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.o2cb ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.o2cb start fi You may also add these lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown: if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.o2cb ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.o2cb stop fi Remember to give executable permission to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown: chmod 0755 /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown Configuring the cluster system ------------------------------ Before the o2cb daemon can be started on boot, O2CB_ENABLED variable should be set to "true" in /etc/default/o2cb Creating cluster.conf in /etc/ocfs2 can be done with `o2cb` command. For example, to define a cluster named ocfs2 with two nodes: o2cb add-cluster ocfs2 o2cb add-node ocfs2 node0 --ip 10.1.0.100 o2cb add-node ocfs2 node1 --ip 10.1.0.101 Heartbeat is configured with: o2cb add-heartbeat cluster_name device1 Use the `mkfs.ocfs2` command to create an OCFS2 volume on a block device. Mounting OCFS2 volumes on boot is done with /etc/rc.d/rc.ocfs2 init script. For additional steps and details, read "Installing and Configuring OCFS2" that can be found on: https://docs.oracle.com/
