Hi folks,1. Looking for an LDM RHEL-4+ RPM binary or rpm.spec files? If not, I may be interested in building one for i386 (advice welcome). 2. Does anyone have a ldmd init script for RHEL that can support some of the advanced RH Linux features listed below (chkconfig, service, PID files & locks). 3. Are there any other gotchas (like syslog) running LDM at Boot as a service?
I was following the linux-HA Cluster thread & noticed there are some LDM Docs referencing clusters, but most are geared toward Hi-Performance Clusters, not Hi-Availability (HA) Clusters. Some configs & principles (IP Virtual Server) may translate though. For HA clusters, LDM can be started & stopped via init-scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d or /etc/ha.d/haresources as Richard noted.

# chkconfig --level 345 ldmd on # service ldmd restart # service ldmd status # head /etc/rc.d/init.d/atd | grep chkconfig # chkconfig: 345 95 5Note: the chkconfig: line determines runlevels & the priority of kill and start scripts (man chkconfig)
# service crond status crond (pid 1117) is running... # cat /var/run/crond.pid 1117 # ls -l /var/lock/subsys/crond-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 5 17:26 /var/lock/subsys/crond
This may help shutdown & restart the ldmd safely during failover in an HA cluster.
