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.

Description Lon Hohberger 2008-07-28 14:39:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

Pacemaker is effectively a superset of what rgmanager can do.

http://clusterlabs.org/

Some of the requested features of rgmanager which are already features of Pacemaker:
 * Resource-dependency model instead of service model (upgrade path required)
 * Time-based resource control (bug #310361)
 * Per-resource restart counters (bug #449833)
 * Disable monitoring of specific resources (bug #449835)
 * Promote/demote/alternate behaviors (bug #451848)
Comment 1 Lon Hohberger 2008-07-28 14:51:17 UTC 
This bug depends on a way to preserve rolling upgrade:

1. bug #303171 - we must be able to stop rgmanager in RHEL5 without stopping
services, so that when we start pacemaker, it can just "take over" running services
2. bug #456897 - we must be able to provide customers with an upgrade path for
their rgmanager configuration

Comment 11 Nate Straz 2010-06-25 20:35:18 UTC 
The packages are included, but I have no idea what is needed to verify that everything that needs to be included IS included.  I could use some direction from development.

A quick look at the packages I noticed that there isn't an init script, nor a "pacemaker" man page.

Since this is a tech-preview package I expect that verifying the package is included and complete is enough to satisfy this bug.  Verification of this bug in no way states that pacemaker works or that you can migrate from rgmanager.
Comment 12 Andrew Beekhof 2010-06-26 08:53:39 UTC 
Indeed there is no init script nor binary called pacemaker.
I can imagine that this was probably quite confusing.

If you want to start pacemaker and see it running, then I'd recommend the Clusters from Scratch guide (in PDF or html):

  http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/en-US/Pacemaker/1.1/pdf/Clusters_from_Scratch/Clusters_from_Scratch.pdf

  http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/en-US/Pacemaker/1.1/html/Clusters_from_Scratch/index.html

Otherwise, look for me on the internal IRC (beekhof on #cluster) or email and I'll help any way I can.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
