# PVC Node Daemon manual
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The PVC node daemon ins build with Python 3 and is run directly on nodes. For details of the startup sequence and general layout, see the [architecture document](/architecture/daemon).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Daemon is configured using a YAML configuration file which is passed in to the API process by the environment variable `PVCD_CONFIG_FILE`. When running with the default package and SystemD unit, this file is located at `/etc/pvc/pvcd.yaml`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For most deployments, the management of the configuration file is handled entirely by the [PVC Ansible framework](/manuals/ansible) and should not be modified directly. Many options from the Ansible framework map directly into the configuration options in this file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Conventions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Settings may be `required`, `optional`, or `ignored`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Settings may `depends` on other settings. This indicates that, if one setting is enabled, the other setting is very likely `required` by that setting.

||||||

#### `node`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The (short) hostname of the node; host-specific.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `functions` -> `enable_hypervisor`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Whether to enable the hypervisor functionality of the PVC Daemon or not. This should usually be enabled except in advanced deployment scenarios (such as a dedicated quorum-keeping micronode or dedicated network routing node).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `functions` -> `enable_networking`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Whether to enable the client network functionality of the PVC Daemon or not. This should usually be enabled except in deployment scenarios where networking is completely unmanaged by PVC.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `functions` -> `enable_storage`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Whether to enable the virtual storage functionality of the PVC Daemon or not. This should usually be enabled except in advanced deployment scenarios featuring unmanaged external storage.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `functions` -> `enable_api`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Whether to enable the PVC API client on the cluster floating IPs or not.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `cluster` -> `coordinators`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A list of coordinator hosts, used to generate the Zookeeper connection string and determine if the current host is a coordinator or not
|
||||||
|
.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `cluster` -> `networks`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *optional*
|
||||||
|
* *requires* `functions` -> `enable_networking`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Contains a dictionary of networks and their configurations for the PVC cluster. Optional only if `enable_networking` is `False`. The three required network types/names are `upstream`, `cluster`, and `storage`. Each network type contains the following entries.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##### `domain`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The domain name for the network. Should be a valid domain name, or `None`. Specifically for the `upstream` network, this should match the domain portion of the node hostname.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##### `network`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The CIDR-formatted IPv4 address block for the network.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##### `floating_ip`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The CIDR-formatted IPv4 address for the floating IP within the network. This IP will belong exclusively to the `primary` coordinator node to provide a central entrypoint for functionality on the cluster.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##### `gateway`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The IPv4 address for the gateway of the network. Usually applicable only to the `upstream` network, as the other two are normally unrouted and local to the cluster.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `coordinator`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *optional*
|
||||||
|
* *requires* `functions` -> `enable_networking`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Configuration for coordinator functions on the node. Optional only if `enable_networking` is `False`. Not optional on non-coordinator hosts, though unused. Contains the following subentries.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##### `dns` -> `database` -> `host`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The hostname of the PostgreSQL instance for the DNS aggregator database. Should always be `localhost` except in advanced deployment scenarios.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##### `dns` -> `database` -> `port`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*

||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The database name for the DNS aggregator database. Should always be `pvcdns`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##### `dns` -> `database` -> `user`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The username for the PVC node daemon to access the DNS aggregator database.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##### `dns` -> `database` -> `pass`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The password for the PVC node daemon to access the DNS aggregator database.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `system` -> `intervals` -> `keepalive_interval`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The number of seconds between keepalive messages to the cluster. The default is 5 seconds; for slow cluster nodes, 10-30 seconds may be more appropriate however this will result in slower responses to changes in the cluster and less accurate/up-to-date information in the clients.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `system` -> `intervals` -> `fence_intervals`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The number of keepalive messages that can be missed before a node is considered dead and the fencing cycle triggered on it. The default is 6, or 30 seconds of inactivity with a 5 second `keepalive_interval`. Can be set to 0 to disable fencing as the timeout will never trigger.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `system` -> `intervals` -> `suicide_intervals`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The number of keepalive message that can be missed before a node consideres itself dead and forcibly resets itself. Note that, due to the large number of reasons a node could become unresponsive, the suicide interval alone should not be relied upon. The default is 0, which disables this functionality. If set, should usually be equal to or less than `fence_intervals` for maximum safety.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `system` -> `fencing` -> `actions` -> `successful_fence`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The action to take regarding VMs once a node is *successfully* fenced, i.e. the IPMI command to restart the node reports a success. Can be one of `migrate`, to migrate and start all failed VMs on other nodes and the default, or `None` to perform no action.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `system` -> `fencing` -> `actions` -> `failed_fence`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* *required*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The action to take regarding VMs once a node fencing *fails*, i.e. the IPMI command to restart the node reports a failure. Can be one of `None`, to perform no action and the default, or `migrate` to migrate and start all failed VMs on other nodes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**WARNING:** This functionality is potentially **dangerous** and can result in data loss or corruption in the VM disks; the post-fence migration process *explicitly clears RBD locks on the disk volumes*. It is designed only for specific and advanced usecases, such as servers that do not reliably report IPMI responses or servers without IPMI (not recommended; see the [cluster architecture documentation](/architecture/cluster)). If this is set to `migrate`, the `suicide_intervals` **must** be set to provide at least some guarantee that the VMs on the node will actually be terminated before this condition triggers. The administrator should think very carefully about their setup and potential failure modes before enabling this option.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### `system` -> `fencing` -> `ipmi` -> `host`
|
||||||
|

||||||
|

|
