2 corosync nodes not online together (one offline, one online)

Question

I am currently trying to set up corosync based on this tutorial:

http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-an-active-passive-postgresql-cluster-with-pacemaker-corosync-and-drbd-centos-5.5-p3

However, I am not able to get my 2 nodes connected.

I have 2 nodes:

data-master with IP address LAN: 10.0.0.122, Crossover: 172.16.0.1
data-slave with IP address LAN: 10.0.0.123, Crossover: 172.16.0.2

And this is my /etc/corosync/corosync.conf (exactly same as the tutorial):

compatibility: whitetank

totem {
   version: 2
   secauth: off
   threads: 0
   interface {
       ringnumber: 0
       bindnetaddr: 10.0.0.0
       mcastaddr: 226.94.1.1
       mcastport: 4000
   }
}

logging {
   fileline: off
   to_stderr: yes
   to_logfile: yes
   to_syslog: yes
   logfile: /tmp/corosync.log
   debug: off
   timestamp: on
   logger_subsys {
      subsys: AMF
      debug: off
   }
}

amf {
   mode: disabled
}
aisexec {
   user: root
   group: root
}
service {
   # Load the Pacemaker Cluster Resource Manager
   name: pacemaker
   ver: 0
}     

I am able to start the openais service successfully. But, when I checking with crm_mon -1 on both nodes, they have different result:

Node 1 (data-master)

OFFLINE: [ data-slave ]

Node 2 (data-slave)

Online: [ data-slave ]
OFFLINE: [ data-master ]

What I expect is to get both nodes online together:

Online: [ data-master data-slave ]

Can you guys help me out what exactly I missed?

My platform: VirtualBox, both Nodes are using SLES 11 SP3 with HA-Extension, both Guest IP Address for LAN is bridged, the Crossover is internal network mode.

Thanks!

Solution

May be you need to switch to unicast from multicast communication.

Try something like this in your corosync.conf:

totem {
        version: 2
        secauth: off
        interface {
                member {
                        memberaddr: 172.16.0.1
                }
                member {
                        memberaddr: 172.16.0.2
                }
                ringnumber: 0
                bindnetaddr: 172.16.0.0
                mcastport: 5405
        }
        transport: udpu
}
