• PCS Installation from Source

  Run the following in terminal:

  # tar -xzvf pcs-0.9.143.tar.gz
  # cd pcs-0.9.143
  # make install

  This will install pcs into /usr/sbin/pcs.

To create a cluster run the following commands on all nodes (replacing node1, node2, node3 with a list of nodes in the cluster).

# pcs cluster setup --local --name cluster_name node1 node2 node3

Then run the following command on all nodes:

# pcs cluster start

After a few moments the cluster should startup and you can get the status of the cluster

# pcs status

After this you can add resources and stonith agents:

# pcs resource help

and

# pcs stonith help

You can also install pcsd which operates as a GUI and remote server for pcs. pcsd may also be necessary in order to follow the guides on the clusterlabs.org website.

To install pcsd run the following commands from the root of your pcs directory. (You must have the ruby bundler gem installed, rubygem-bundler in Fedora, and development packages installed)

# cd pcsd ; make get_gems ; cd ..
# make install_pcsd

If you are using GNU/Linux its now time to:

# systemctl daemon-reload

Currently this is built into Fedora (other distributions to follow). You can see the current Fedora .spec in the fedora package git repositories here: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/pcs.git/

Current Fedora 23 .spec: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/pcs.git/tree/pcs.spec?h=f23
