Troubleshooting
Should the gdeploy process fail, read the errors reported and address. gdeploy can be run with
“-vv” option for more verbosity.
Most likely any errors experienced will be due to incorrect sizing.
If gdeploy fails after creating a PV, VG or an LV. Be sure to delete them first before running
gdeploy again. Remove VGs first and it will prompt to delete any LVs on top. If any of the brick
LV are mounted be sure to unmount first or else vgremove will fail.
vgremove $VG_NAME
pvremove /dev/sda

|---|---|---|
| ctdb | /etc/sysconfig/ctdb | Core CTDB configuration |
| public_addresses | /etc/ctdb/public_addresses | A list of VIPs clients can access smb share. One IP per node in cluster. Syntax = $IP/$SUBNET $INTERFACE (192.168.16.4/16 bond0) |
| nodes | /etc/ctdb/nodes | A list of host nodes ctdb is running on. Syntax = $IP (192.168.16.2) |

Start CTDB:
systemctl enable ctdb
systemctl start ctdb
watch -n1 “ctdb status”
Wait for both nodes to go OK. If they don’t check “/var/log/log.ctdb” for error.
Double check the config files above for any typos. Both servers should have identical configs.
