Introduction

1. Document Conventions

This manual uses several conventions to highlight certain words and phrases and draw attention to

specific pieces of information.

In PDF and paper editions, this manual uses typefaces drawn from the Liberation Fonts1 set. The

Liberation Fonts set is also used in HTML editions if the set is installed on your system. If not,

alternative but equivalent typefaces are displayed. Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and later includes

the Liberation Fonts set by default.

1.1. Typographic Conventions

Four typographic conventions are used to call attention to specific words and phrases. These

conventions, and the circumstances they apply to, are as follows.

Mono-spaced Bold

Used to highlight system input, including shell commands, file names and paths. Also used to highlight

keycaps and key combinations. For example:

To see the contents of the file my_next_bestselling_novel in your current

working directory, enter the cat my_next_bestselling_novel command at the

shell prompt and press Enter to execute the command.

The above includes a file name, a shell command and a keycap, all presented in mono-spaced bold

and all distinguishable thanks to context.

Key combinations can be distinguished from keycaps by the hyphen connecting each part of a key

combination. For example:

Press Enter to execute the command.

Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to the first virtual terminal. Press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to

return to your X-Windows session.

The first paragraph highlights the particular keycap to press. The second highlights two key

combinations (each a set of three keycaps with each set pressed simultaneously).

If source code is discussed, class names, methods, functions, variable names and returned values

mentioned within a paragraph will be presented as above, in mono-spaced bold. For example:

File-related classes include filesystem for file systems, file for files, and dir for

directories. Each class has its own associated set of permissions.

Proportional Bold

This denotes words or phrases encountered on a system, including application names; dialog box text;

labeled buttons; check-box and radio button labels; menu titles and sub-menu titles. For example:

Choose System → Preferences → Mouse from the main menu bar to launch Mouse

Preferences. In the Buttons tab, click the Left-handed mouse check box and click

Close to switch the primary mouse button from the left to the right (making the mouse

suitable for use in the left hand).

Pull-quote Conventions

vii

To insert a special character into a gedit file, choose Applications → Accessories

→ Character Map from the main menu bar. Next, choose Search → Find… from

the Character Map menu bar, type the name of the character in the Search field

and click Next. The character you sought will be highlighted in the Character Table.

Double-click this highlighted character to place it in the Text to copy field and then

click the Copy button. Now switch back to your document and choose Edit → Paste

from the gedit menu bar.

The above text includes application names; system-wide menu names and items; application-specific

menu names; and buttons and text found within a GUI interface, all presented in proportional bold and

all distinguishable by context.

Mono-spaced Bold Italic or Proportional Bold Italic

Whether mono-spaced bold or proportional bold, the addition of italics indicates replaceable or

variable text. Italics denotes text you do not input literally or displayed text that changes depending on

circumstance. For example:

To connect to a remote machine using ssh, type ssh username@domain.name at

a shell prompt. If the remote machine is example.com and your username on that

machine is john, type ssh [email protected].

The mount -o remount file-system command remounts the named file

system. For example, to remount the /home file system, the command is mount -o

remount /home.

To see the version of a currently installed package, use the rpm -q package

command. It will return a result as follows: package-version-release.

Note the words in bold italics above — username, domain.name, file-system, package, version and

release. Each word is a placeholder, either for text you enter when issuing a command or for text

displayed by the system.

Aside from standard usage for presenting the title of a work, italics denotes the first use of a new and

important term. For example:

Publican is a DocBook publishing system.

1.2. Pull-quote Conventions

Terminal output and source code listings are set off visually from the surrounding text.

Output sent to a terminal is set in mono-spaced roman and presented thus:

books Desktop documentation drafts mss photos stuff svn

books_tests Desktop1 downloads images notes scripts svgs

Source-code listings are also set in mono-spaced roman but add syntax highlighting as follows:

package org.jboss.book.jca.ex1;

import javax.naming.InitialContext;

public class ExClient

{

Introduction

viii

public static void main(String args[])

throws Exception

{

InitialContext iniCtx = new InitialContext();

Object ref = iniCtx.lookup("EchoBean");

EchoHome home = (EchoHome) ref;

Echo echo = home.create();

System.out.println("Created Echo");

System.out.println("Echo.echo('Hello') = " + echo.echo("Hello"));

}

1.3. Notes and Warnings

Finally, we use three visual styles to draw attention to information that might otherwise be overlooked.

Note

Notes are tips, shortcuts or alternative approaches to the task at hand. Ignoring a note

should have no negative consequences, but you might miss out on a trick that makes your

life easier.

Important

Important boxes detail things that are easily missed: configuration changes that only

apply to the current session, or services that need restarting before an update will apply.

Ignoring a box labeled 'Important' won't cause data loss but may cause irritation and

frustration.

Warning

Warnings should not be ignored. Ignoring warnings will most likely cause data loss.

2. Feedback

If you spot a typo, or if you have thought of a way to make this document better, we would love to

hear from you. Please submit a report in Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/) against the

component Documentation-cluster.

Be sure to mention the document's identifier:

Cluster_Suite_Overview(EN)-5 (2010-02-05T09:51)

By mentioning this document's identifier, we know exactly which version of the guide you have.

If you have a suggestion for improving the documentation, try to be as specific as possible. If you have

found an error, please include the section number and some of the surrounding text so we can find it

easily.

Red Hat Cluster Suite Overview

Clustered systems provide reliability, scalability, and availability to critical production services. Using

Red Hat Cluster Suite, you can create a cluster to suit your needs for performance, high availability,

load balancing, scalability, file sharing, and economy. This chapter provides an overview of Red Hat

Cluster Suite components and functions, and consists of the following sections:

•Section 1.1, “Cluster Basics”

•Section 1.2, “Red Hat Cluster Suite Introduction”

•Section 1.3, “Cluster Infrastructure”

•Section 1.4, “High-availability Service Management”

•Section 1.5, “Red Hat GFS”

•Section 1.6, “Cluster Logical Volume Manager”

•Section 1.7, “Global Network Block Device”

•Section 1.8, “Linux Virtual Server”

•Section 1.9, “Cluster Administration Tools”

•Section 1.10, “Linux Virtual Server Administration GUI”

1.1. Cluster Basics

A cluster is two or more computers (called nodes or members) that work together to perform a task.

There are four major types of clusters:

• Storage

• High availability

• Load balancing

• High performance

Storage clusters provide a consistent file system image across servers in a cluster, allowing the

servers to simultaneously read and write to a single shared file system. A storage cluster simplifies

storage administration by limiting the installation and patching of applications to one file system.

Also, with a cluster-wide file system, a storage cluster eliminates the need for redundant copies of

application data and simplifies backup and disaster recovery. Red Hat Cluster Suite provides storage

clustering through Red Hat GFS.

High-availability clusters provide continuous availability of services by eliminating single points

of failure and by failing over services from one cluster node to another in case a node becomes

inoperative. Typically, services in a high-availability cluster read and write data (via read-write

mounted file systems). Therefore, a high-availability cluster must maintain data integrity as one cluster

node takes over control of a service from another cluster node. Node failures in a high-availability

cluster are not visible from clients outside the cluster. (High-availability clusters are sometimes

referred to as failover clusters.) Red Hat Cluster Suite provides high-availability clustering through its

High-availability Service Management component.

Chapter 1. Red Hat Cluster Suite Overview

Load-balancing clusters dispatch network service requests to multiple cluster nodes to balance the

request load among the cluster nodes. Load balancing provides cost-effective scalability because you

can match the number of nodes according to load requirements. If a node in a load-balancing cluster

becomes inoperative, the load-balancing software detects the failure and redirects requests to other

cluster nodes. Node failures in a load-balancing cluster are not visible from clients outside the cluster.

Red Hat Cluster Suite provides load-balancing through LVS (Linux Virtual Server).

High-performance clusters use cluster nodes to perform concurrent calculations. A high-performance

cluster allows applications to work in parallel, therefore enhancing the performance of the applications.

(High performance clusters are also referred to as computational clusters or grid computing.)

Note

The cluster types summarized in the preceding text reflect basic configurations; your

needs might require a combination of the clusters described.

1.2. Red Hat Cluster Suite Introduction

Red Hat Cluster Suite (RHCS) is an integrated set of software components that can be deployed

in a variety of configurations to suit your needs for performance, high-availability, load balancing,

scalability, file sharing, and economy.

RHCS consists of the following major components (refer to Figure 1.1, “Red Hat Cluster Suite

Introduction”):

• Cluster infrastructure — Provides fundamental functions for nodes to work together as a cluster:

configuration-file management, membership management, lock management, and fencing.

• High-availability Service Management — Provides failover of services from one cluster node to

another in case a node becomes inoperative.

• Cluster administration tools — Configuration and management tools for setting up, configuring, and

managing a Red Hat cluster. The tools are for use with the Cluster Infrastructure components, the

High-availability and Service Management components, and storage.

• Linux Virtual Server (LVS) — Routing software that provides IP-Load-balancing. LVS runs in a pair

of redundant servers that distributes client requests evenly to real servers that are behind the LVS

servers.

You can supplement Red Hat Cluster Suite with the following components, which are part of an

optional package (and not part of Red Hat Cluster Suite):

• GFS (Global File System) and GFS2 (Global File System 2) — Provides a cluster file system for use

with Red Hat Cluster Suite. GFS/GFS2 allows multiple nodes to share storage at a block level as if

the storage were connected locally to each cluster node.

• Cluster Logical Volume Manager (CLVM) — Provides volume management of cluster storage.
