Hello all,

I'm fairly new with Linux and I'm trying to setup a HA-cluster with 2 RHAS4 machines but cannot setup the Heartbeat software.
I tried 2 version of heartbeat, both fail to install heartbeat-stonith due to depedencies errors.
I have absolutely no clue how to solve the problem.

Can I use the heartbeat solution anyway or do I need the RedHat Cluster Manager Suite for my HA ?

any help is appriciated
regards,

René

These are the errors I get
rpm -ihv heartbeat-stonith-2.1.3-1.i586.rpm

Usually you would let your package manager resolve dependencies. If your up2date, yum, autoupdate or apt don't resolve it you'll have to chase for dependencies yourself. Or (re)build from tarball or .src.rpm if packages are not available.


If the "/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i586" location here meant you built this RPM yourself, next time please remember to build packages logged in in any local unprivileged user account. Way safer.


You'll want the RPMs for openssl, net-snmp-libs and openhpi. And curl if you *really* want to install the lower version heartbeat-stonith-2.0.2-1, but I can't see why anyone would want that.

@unSpawn : thanks for the tips, appreciated.

I found the solution at http://www.ultramonkey.org/download/...t/2.0.2/rhel3/

Had to adjust te script a little, (adjustment in bold) and the installation works like a charme.
Now configuring.....

Thanks for posting the fix, good to see you got it working.

Be sure to let the people at www.ultramonkey.org know too or else maybe add it to the CentOS Wiki?


Uh. There's no need for root account privileges here.
Building packages as any local unprivileged user would be way better.
Can't emphasise that enough.

Thanks, posted the fix so others know what to do..or am I the only one not getting this

CentOS? I thought this was a Redhat thingy?

Ehh...ok, but it's not my script, am just happy I got things working root and a ssh-user are the only accounts on the system, there are no other users. Is there a security issue building rpm's?
Up2date runs only as root, haven't figured out sudo yet
I'm pretty new at this Linux stuff, got to learn as I go, just wish I could figure out man-pages

Heh, sorry bout confusing you with derivatives :-]


At the basis it's the "least privilege" thing, you just don't need root account access to build packages. Secondly, yes, theoretically, if the .spec file does things you don not want it to (and who audits .spec files, right). Third, yes, in practice, if the %install script installs stuff in your system.
Setting up an account for building packages is easy, no exotic requirements at all: any unprivileged user ID over 500 with a shell should do. OK, there are some common sense things like not having compilers on and not building packages on production machines if you can help it...


It needs to install packages and only root can do that.


Well, at least you've found another resource to help you. As long as you ask specific questions you should recieve specific answers. A lot of things have been asked, so search LQ might yield answers to common questions. And no question is "stupid": not asking, that's stupid.

Thanks for the support.
I'll be back
