I am trying to set up a split-site clustering with Pacemaker. Each site is likely be served by a different ISP and plan is to have N-M config with 20 active nodes and 2 passive nodes. In the event of a failover, data needs to be replicated over to the new active node. The clients will be configured with a single IP address(a set of clients per each active node) and will have to stay that way. Basically, the failover should be seemless for the clients. I am not clear on how the IP addressing would work and how to configure this setup.

Is this possible with Pacemaker. I have seen documentation about split-site supported by Pacemaker. However, it is not clear if the nodes need to be part of the private network connected by fiber links or something.

You can tell each node which other nodes (IPs) to connect to but I opted into having all of the nodes in same network connected by VPN-tunnels. The nodes talk with each other using multicast. – jkj Feb 8 at 6:59
