RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

.Local mode version of `pcs cluster setup` command is now fully supported By default, the `pcs cluster setup` command automatically synchronizes all configuration files to the cluster nodes. Since RHEL 8.3, the `pcs cluster setup` command has provided the `--corosync-conf` option as a Technology Preview. This feature is now fully supported in RHEL 8.5. Specifying this option switches the command to `local` mode. In this mode, the `pcs` command-line interface creates a `corosync.conf` file and saves it to a specified file on the local node only, without communicating with any other node. This allows you to create a `corosync.conf` file in a script and handle that file by means of the script.

Description Tomas Jelinek 2020-05-25 07:06:10 UTC
The current 'pcs cluster setup' command does all that is needed to set up a cluster: checking if nodes are suitable for the new cluster, creating corosync.conf and other cluster config files (authkeys, pcs configs, etc.) and distributing them to all the nodes. This is great for the cases when a user is creating the cluster manually. It is not so good when one wants to write a script to set up and configure a cluster.

To make it easier to set up a cluster from a script, a new command will be implemented in pcs. This command will have pretty much the same syntax as the current 'pcs cluster setup'. It will, however, work only on the local node, validating corosync.conf options and storing resulting corosync.conf in a specified location. It will be up to the script to distribute this file, along with other needed config files created by such script, to actually create a cluster. The local setup pcs command will not communicate with any nodes.

proposed fix + tests

The 'pcs cluster setup' command has a new option, --corosync_conf, which switches the command to 'local' mode. This is described in pcs man page and help:

Local only mode:
By default, pcs connects to all specified nodes to verify they can be used in the new cluster and to send cluster configuration files to them. If this is not what you want, specify --corosync_conf option followed by a file path. Pcs will save corosync.conf to the specified file and will not connect to cluster nodes. These are the task pcs skips in that case:
* make sure the nodes are not running or configured to run a cluster already
* make sure cluster packages are installed on all nodes and their versions are compatible
* make sure there are no cluster configuration files on any node (run 'pcs cluster destroy' and remove pcs_settings.conf file on all nodes)
* synchronize corosync and pacemaker authkeys, /etc/corosync/authkey and /etc/pacemaker/authkey respectively, and the corosync.conf file
* authenticate the cluster nodes against each other ('pcs cluster auth' or 'pcs host auth' command)
* synchronize pcsd certificates (so that pcs web UI can be used in an HA mode)
