 I used some information provided here, even if it is with CentOS 5.7 and
lvm on top of drbd, while in my setup I have CentOS 6.5 and drbd on top of
lvm:

http://blogs.mindspew-age.com/2012/04/05/adventures-in-high-availability-ha-iscsi-with-drbd-iscsi-and-pacemaker/

- my drbd resource definition for iSCSI HA:
[root at srvmgmt01 ~]# cat iscsiha.res
resource iscsiha {
 disk {
   disk-flushes no;
   md-flushes no;
   fencing resource-and-stonith;
 }
 device minor 2;
 disk /dev/iscsihavg/iscsihalv;
 syncer {
 rate 30M;
 verify-alg md5;
 }
 handlers {
 fence-peer "/usr/lib/drbd/crm-fence-peer.sh";
 after-resync-target "/usr/lib/drbd/crm-unfence-peer.sh";
 }
 on srvmgmt01.localdomain.local {
 address 192.168.230.51:7790;
 meta-disk internal;
 }
 on srvmgmt02.localdomain.local {
 address 192.168.230.52:7790;
 meta-disk internal;
 }
}


- tgtd is setup to start on both nodes at startup
iscsi and iscsid services configured to off

- Put the agents iSCSILogicalUnit e iSCSITarget under
 /usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/ on both nodes

downloaded from here, as they are not provided in plain CentOS:
http://linux-ha.org/doc/man-pages/re-ra-iSCSITarget.html

- Here below the pcs steps to create the group:

pcs cluster cib iscsiha_cfg

pcs -f iscsiha_cfg resource create p_drbd_iscsiha ocf:linbit:drbd
drbd_resource=iscsiha \
op monitor interval="29s" role="Master" timeout="30" op monitor

op start interval="0" timeout="60" \
op stop interval="0" timeout="60" \
op monitor interval="30" timeout="60"

pcs -f iscsiha_cfg resource create p_ip_iscsi ocf:heartbeat:IPaddr2 \
params ip="10.10.1.71" \
op start interval="0" timeout="20" \
op stop interval="0" timeout="20" \
op monitor interval="30" timeout="20"

pcs -f iscsiha_cfg resource create p_portblock-store1-block
ocf:heartbeat:portblock \
params ip="10.10.1.71" portno="3260" protocol="tcp" action="block"

pcs -f iscsiha_cfg resource create p_portblock-store1-unblock
ocf:heartbeat:portblock \
params ip="10.10.1.71" portno="3260" protocol="tcp" action="unblock" \
op monitor interval="30s"

pcs -f iscsiha_cfg resource group add g_iscsiha p_portblock-store1-block
p_ip_iscsi p_iscsi_store1 \
p_iscsi_store1_lun1 p_portblock-store1-unblock

pcs -f iscsiha_cfg constraint colocation add Started g_iscsiha with Master
ms_drbd_iscsiha INFINITY

pcs -f iscsiha_cfg constraint order promote ms_drbd_iscsiha then start
g_iscsiha

pcs cluster cib-push iscsiha_cfg


- output of "crm_mon -1"

- output of tgtadm on both nodes while srvmgmt01 is active for the group

on the passive node:
[root at srvmgmt02 heartbeat]# tgtadm --mode target --op show
[root at srvmgmt02 heartbeat]#

TBV performance and tuning values taken from here:
http://www.dbarticles.com/centos-6-iscsi-tgtd-setup-and-performance-adjustments/

my cluster is basic for testing so not critical for my environment...
at the momento only 1Gbit/s network and one adapter for drbd replica and
one for iSCSI traffic
Tested with some I/O basic benchmarks on VM insisting on the SD and I got
about 90-95MB/s on both drbd and iSCSI networks. Also relocation of iSCSI
service while benchmark active seemed not to cause problems with SD and VM.

- I also enabled iptables on cluster nodes so that the initiators (oVirt
hosts) could connect to the ip alias dedicated to iSCSI servicing:
in /etc/sysconfig/iptables:
# iSCSI
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -d 10.10.1.71 --dport 3260 -j ACCEPT

I have to recheck the logs to give exact scenario of what happened causing
the problem.... not being a critical system is not so well monitored at the
moment...

comments welcome
