Paths, Files, Filesystems

sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_profile_path is the root directory holding the "profiles" of ASCS and ERS. It is generated based on convention and the provided SID. sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_profile_path_ascs and sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_profile_path_ers are set to it (or overridden), and the respective profile_file values are generated based on the particular _alias_ names and IDs (or overridden).

For each of thing={'ascs', 'ers', 'sapmnt', 'sys', 'trans'}, we create a PCS filesystem resource named sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_fsr_name_<thing>, which is set sanely, but can be overridden. It mounts sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_fsdevice_<thing> at sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_mntdir_<type> as a filesystem type of sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_fstype_<thing>. _mntdir is set by convention (but can be overridden), the device need to be specified. fstype can be specified generally, or per fstype_<thing>.

STONITH fencing

The following variables are common to all fencing devices (except those on hyperscalers)

variable info required?
sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_fencing_device.name Name of the fencing device yes
sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_fencing_device.type Fencing device type yes *
sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_fencing_device.ip IP address of the fencing device yes
sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_fencing_device.user Username to connect to the fencing device yes
sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_fencing_device.pwd Password to connect to the fencing device yes
sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_fencing_device.pcmk_host_list List of nodes controlled by the fencing device yes *
sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_fencing_device.password_file Full path/filename to 'password script' to use for fencing device configuration no
sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_fencing_device.pcmk_host_map Mapping of the hostnames/ip of the nodes yes*
sap_netweaver_ha_pacemaker_fencing_device.custom_options Additional options to pass to fence device creation, e.g. "ssl=1 ssl_insecure=1 power_wait=30" no

* Must provide either a pcmk_host_list or a pcmk_host_map, per https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2619961 for a discussion on host_list vs host_map

This is a list of the most common fencing devices:

  • fence_vmware_soap - VMWare
  • fence_vmware_rest - VMWare
  • fence_ipmilan - IPMI
  • fence_ilo4_ssh - HP ILO
  • fence_rhevm - RHV
  • fence_azure_arm - Azure

TODO and Notes

  • Fencing should perhaps be extracted to own role to share with redhat_sap.sap-hana-ha-pacemaker
  • Verify drivers other than fence_vmware_rest support passwd_script option
  • Support >2 nodes
  • Support >2 links
  • This remains mostly untested against a range of systems.
  • Var docs
  • FS paths should match samples from docs
  • Is this the right place for Azure LB? (commented out as wasn't going to work, anyway)
  • If using clustering, the sap_s4netweaver_deployment is likely going to need /etc/hosts setup, so this is a dupe
  • /etc/hosts perhaps should have ansible tags in it, either way, so the several roles can not clobber each other
  • Should instance aliases be in /etc/hosts?
  • Rename 'ASCS' to 'APP'(?) everywhere if this "works" with more app stacks than ASCS, like the java thing
