Product Description

The Linux-HA project is a set of building blocks for high availability cluster systems, including a cluster messaging layer, a huge number of resource agents for a variety of applications, and a plumbing library and error reporting toolkit.

Software Pattern Summary

Product Component	OS Type	Pattern Depth
Linux-HA Cluster	UNIX	Instance-based

Platforms Supported by the Pattern

The current pattern identifies an instance of Linux-HA/Red Hat Cluster running *nix family platforms.

As modern versions of Red Hat Cluster are based on Linux HA technology, pattern will create Red Hat Cluster if it was triggered on Red Hat server, else Linux HA cluster will be created.

Identification

Cluster Instance Triggers

Trigger Node	Attribute	Condition	Argument
SoftwareInstance	type	matches	"Corosync Cluster Engine"
	multicast_ip	matches	regex '\S'
	local_node_id	matches	regex '.'

Cluster node types created

The patterns will create the following cluster nodes:

Pattern Name	Node	Node type	Discovery/ADDM Version
LinuxHA	Cluster	Linux-HA Cluster	All ADDM/Discovery versions
		Red Hat Cluster	All ADDM/Discovery versions
	ClusterMember		BMC Discovery 11.x
	ClusterService		BMC Discovery 11.x

CI Depth

The pattern generates an instance-based Cluster Instance, whose key is based on type and multicast_ip.

Additional Information Obtained by the Cluster Pattern

multicast_ip is to be obtained from Corosync Cluster Engine SI.

Relationship Creation

Once both the SoftwareInstance and Cluster nodes have been created the pattern then creates two different relationships.
First a SoftwareService relationship is created using the SoftwareInstance as the ServiceProvider and the Cluster as the Service.
Secondly a HostContainment relationship is created between the Cluster (HostContainer) and the Host (ContainedHost).
These two relationships allow for the Cluster service to be correctly modeled in the ADDM UI.

Subject Matter Expertise

Any assistance offered to help us improve the identification of the product would be greatly appreciated

Cluster Awareness in BMC Discovery 11.x series

For BMC Discovery 11.x, cluster awareness has been incorporated into the pattern module. Pattern work same as it was before, but will create additional attributes for BMC Discovery 11.x series

Testing

The pattern has been tested against installations of Corosync Cluster Engine running on Linux platform.
