Installing Pacemaker
All OpenStack services consist of system Linux services. The first step of ensuring services' availability is to configure Pacemaker clusters for each service, so Pacemaker monitors the services. In case of failure, Pacemaker restarts the failed service. In addition, we will use Pacemaker to create a virtual IP address for each of OpenStack's services to ensure services are accessible using the same IP address when failures occurs and the actual service has relocated to another host.
