Corosync addresses
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A corosync link or ring address can be specified in two ways:
* **IPv4/v6 addresses** will be used directly. They are recommended, since they
are static and usually not changed carelessly.
* **Hostnames** will be resolved using `getaddrinfo`, which means that per
default, IPv6 addresses will be used first, if available (see also
`man gai.conf`). Keep this in mind, especially when upgrading an existing
cluster to IPv6.
CAUTION: Hostnames should be used with care, since the address they
resolve to can be changed without touching corosync or the node it runs on -
which may lead to a situation where an address is changed without thinking
about implications for corosync.
A seperate, static hostname specifically for corosync is recommended, if
hostnames are preferred. Also, make sure that every node in the cluster can
resolve all hostnames correctly.
Since {pve} 5.1, while supported, hostnames will be resolved at the time of
entry. Only the resolved IP is then saved to the configuration.
Nodes that joined the cluster on earlier versions likely still use their
unresolved hostname in `corosync.conf`. It might be a good idea to replace
them with IPs or a seperate hostname, as mentioned above.
