thanks for your reply, but i have a question about Corosync + Pacemaker.
Now I want to use Corosync + Pacemaker in iscsi target



[cid:image002.png@01D1091A.AEFC8740]

iSCSI Active/Passive With Virtual IPs

Server1 accesses the two targets/GWs one at a time

through one or more Virtual IPs. The server1 use oracle.

If the active target goes down, corosync/pacemaker will

activate the passive target.



IPMI fencing, one of the most common types, takes a few seconds.



I feel that this time is too long,

Can it guarantee my business is not interrupted?

Not safely, no.



In HA, if a node is declared dead, it needs to be fenced/stonith'ed before its services are recovered. Not doing this can lead to a split-brain. The process of fencing a node takes time; Exactly how much depends on the device or method you are using. IPMI fencing, one of the most common types, takes a few seconds.



Also, if you shorten the time it takes to declare a node dead, you increase the chance of having a node declared dead when it's not.
