Mapping Nodes to Organizations

Chef 11.x

You'll need to run this on the Server in Orgmapper, eg:

/opt/opscode/bin/orgmapper
orgmapper>> eval(::File.read("/path/to/code.rb"))

Chef Server HA and DRBD Split Brain Recovery

The default recovery settings for DRBD on the Chef Server will take care of split brain scenarios most of the time. The following are steps that you can take to manually recover a split brain. Before following any of the steps read the entire document through completely.

Determine the cluster health

The Chef Server ships with helper commands to determine the current ha-status of the Server. DRBD ships with utilities to determine and control the state DRBD. First you'll want to check the DRBD status and ha-status of both backend nodes and determine which steps you'll need to take for remediation.

Determine the HA status

$: chef-server-ctl ha-status
