dlm_controld: add multi-home
PATCH 1/1 dlm_controld: add multi-home
This patch adds multi-home capability to dlm_controld. If a node has more than one address then the DLM will be told about all of them, rather than just the first as at present.
It is assumed that sctp will be used as a transport protocol in this case, but dlm_controld does not force this. It might be more appropriate to set this in conga, but I'm not sure.

Are you sure that 4 addresses will be enough? seems a little low to me, or did I misunderstand the purpose of MAX_NODE_ADDRESSES?
Steve.

+#define MAX_NODE_ADDRESSES 4
can we please make these kind of things fully dynamic?
I have 7 ip with 2 interfaces.. leave alone with VIP and other stuff... It would be an extra limitation to keep in mind when debugging why some connections are working and others are not.
Thanks
Fabio

It's set to 3 in the kernel !

These addresses come from the openais multiring configuration. The jump from 1 to 2 openais rings is going to be challenging enough, IME. As Patrick points out, dlm-kernel supports up to 3.
How about this, once someone demonstrates a functional cluster running just two rings and two sctp paths for the dlm, I'll bump up the kernel limit.

Whatever happened to "we'll only run one cluster at a time"? :-)

Those are multiple rings among the same nodes for the sake of redundancy in one cluster; it's some kind of variation of the totem protocol IIRC, Steve Dake can explain it. It's most definately not for multiple clusters.
