Hi, I’ve implemented a cluster (active/pasive) with apache using pacemaker & corosync. Everything related to the cluster operation is working fine. The problem is that these apache is going to be also our load balancer. We need hi availability and the flexibility of the reload operation of the apache. On daily basis part of our tasks are to add sites, add nodes to the balanced applications, etc. So we need a cluster operation that permit us to invoke the apache reload (graceful) anytime we need without disrupt the service (user established connections, etc.) We are using sevice ocf:💓apache, and these operations aren’t available … Does anyone can help us with that? Thanks in advance! José Pedro ---

Hi, First of all thanks for your reply. No, remember that the new command to control the cluster is “pcm” no crm. Also remember that we need reload configuration without disrupt the established connections. The restart makes stop+start … and this is exactly what we can’t use … We think that we need the implementation of the reload operation… Thanks! José Pedro ---

Please post the output from “cat /etc/\*release”. The reason for asking is that the SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension uses the crm command for configuring and managing cluster resources from the command line. I’ve also found that you’ve posted exactly the same question in the CentOS forums though noting that you’ve “implemented a cluster (active/pasive) with apache _in centos 7_ using pacemaker & corosync.” Whilst both SLES and CentOS are RPM-based there are some important differences.

Hi! Yes, In fact, we are evaluating both options: Centos and OpenSuse. The centos implementation have these problem and we post in both because we can use openSuse or centos … we’ll decide to start testing in Centos because we fund the implementation with corosync+pacemaker full documented in the last release … But if you said that in openSuse we have all implemented with reload … we’ll install it asap … Thank you very much for your assistance and patience.

Hi José Pedro, > OpenSuse please note that you’re currently posting to the SUSE forums, which are for the supported version of SUSE Linux (SLES/SLED & related products).

In particular pacemaker is available as part of the openSUSE distribution rather than as a separate, paid for extra for SLES. For questions/issues relating to openSUSE you should post in the openSUSE Forums @ [https://forums.opensuse.org/forum.php](https://forums.opensuse.org/forum.php) (the same user credentials for SUSE Forums will also work there). ## HTH.

Hi guys, Thank you very much for your responses. I’ve opened these thread in openSuse forum … it´s strange that the reload wasn’t implemented … Thanks !! regards!! José Pedro
