Deploy/init fixes:
- iscsi-target.nix: targetctl binary is in rtslib-fb (python3 env), not
targetcli-fb — fixes ExecStart and ExecStop for the targetctl.service
- deploy.sh: _patch_targetctl() applies runtime dropin to both nodes before
cluster-init so Pacemaker can manage the iSCSI target from first start
- cluster-init.sh: replace crm configure heredoc with cibadmin --replace XML
(pacemaker-4.0 schema: globally-unique in meta_attributes, promoted-max/
promoted-node-max, Promoted role in constraints); force_unmount=true on
xfs-data; DRBD promote timeout 240s
- cluster-config.nix: add crm-fence-peer.sh/crm-unfence-peer.sh handlers;
update fencing comment to reflect resource-only + Pacemaker-aware handler
replacing STONITH during testing phase
- ha-server.nix: add openiscsi to systemPackages for T4 iscsiadm availability
Acceptance test fixes:
- acceptance-tests.sh: fix ((PASS++)) set -e bug → PASS=$((PASS+1));
detect Active/Standby dynamically via drbdadm role (Pacemaker can promote
either node); T4 bash TCP probe instead of iscsiadm; T5 timeout 120s;
T6 echo|sudo tee for root-owned XFS write (bash -c redirect runs as nixos
not sudo — permission denied); use ns cat / ns rm for root-owned reads

cibadmin raw XML fails schema validation under pacemaker-4.0: globally-unique
is not a valid direct <clone> attribute, and master-max/master-node-max are
renamed. Switch to crm configure commands which are schema-version-aware:
- promotable clone with promoted-max/promoted-node-max
- order/colocation constraints using Promoted role (Pacemaker 4.0 naming)
- crm configure handles schema differences automatically

clearconfig does not reliably clear kernel LIO configfs state — the kernel
still holds backing-file references, blocking umount. Replace clearconfig
with explicit targetcli delete commands (/iscsi delete, /backstores/fileio
delete) which do release kernel state. Also make DRBD secondary demote
idempotent (skip if already Secondary).

- Remove VIP-specific portal binding — the VIP doesn't exist until Pacemaker
assigns it; the default all-IPs portal (::0:3260) is correct for Pacemaker
to manage
- Clear existing LIO targets before re-running targetcli (idempotent on
partial failures)
- Tear down LIO kernel objects after saveconfig so umount succeeds (LIO holds
the backing file open otherwise)
- Guard mount with mountpoint check so re-runs don't fail when already mounted
- Use --replace for cibadmin constraints (idempotent vs --create)

- ha-server.nix: add xfsprogs to systemPackages so mkfs.xfs is on PATH for
root (needed by cluster-init.sh during initial setup)
- cluster-config.nix: create /var/lib/drbd via tmpfiles to silence
lk_bdev_save warnings from drbd-utils
- cluster-init.sh: dynamically find xfsprogs in /nix/store if not on PATH
(fallback for running VMs before xfsprogs is in the system profile)
- cluster-init.sh: fix DRBD metadata check on node2 — broken regex now uses
grep -E for ERE alternation to correctly skip create-md when DRBD is already
set up (previous regex would have triggered create-md on a live secondary)

Root SSH was failing because only the RSA admin key was authorized but the
local dev box only has an ed25519 key. Fix:
- cluster-config.nix: add ed25519 keys to root (same set as nixos user) so
future deployments work without the temp-key workaround
- deploy.sh/acceptance-tests.sh: SSH as nixos user with sudo instead of root@
- cluster-init.sh: HA_USER/HA_KEY env vars + n2_ssh()/n2_scp() helpers so
inter-node SSH works regardless of whether root-to-root is available
- deploy.sh Phase 6: generate temp keypair, authorize on node2, place on node1
for root to use during cluster-init, clean up afterward

- Add root SSH key + passwordless sudo to ha-server nodes (needed for
deploy script to run cluster-init.sh via SSH as root on node1)
- Fix cluster-init.sh: correct default IPs (228/227/229 per variables.nix),
use \${VAR:-default} for all config so deploy.sh can override via env
- Fix acceptance-tests.sh: same IP corrections, add -i flag to SSH calls,
use \${VAR:-default} pattern
- Fix deploy.sh dry-run bugs: pve_check() always runs SSH for read-only
probes so bridge existence check is accurate; wait_for_ssh skips in
dry-run instead of timing out
- Fix cluster-init invocation: upload script via scp and run via SSH as
root on node1 (was incorrectly trying to run the script locally)
- Fix acceptance-tests invocation: pass IP env vars from deploy.sh

Adds proxmox-ha-server-1 and proxmox-ha-server-2 as real mkTarget entries
alongside the existing proxmox-server, backed by a new ha-server build type.
New modules
modules/ha/cluster-config.nix — DRBD resource + corosync nodelist sourced
from vars (haServer1Host/Ip, haServer2Host/Ip); resource-only fencing for
production STONITH; HA port firewall rules for DRBD, iSCSI, Corosync, pcsd
modules/build-types/ha-server.nix — imports pacemaker-stack + iscsi-target
+ cluster-config + beszel; NFS exports from vars.haStorageRoot (XFS-over-DRBD
mount); nfs-server.service.wantedBy force-cleared so Pacemaker controls
start/stop on the Active node only
New hosts
hosts/ha-server-{1,2}/host.nix — static IP from vars, unique hostId; sops
secrets (beszel, corosync authkey) are TODOs pending sync-host-keys.sh
variables.nix
haServer1/2Host, haServer1/2Ip, haServerVip, haStorageRoot, haIscsiIqn
ports.haServerDrbd/Iscsi/Corosync{1,2,Crypto}/PacemakerRemoted/Pcsd
scripts/ha/ (migrated + updated from test-lab/ha/)
cluster-init.sh — generates corosync authkey, initialises DRBD/XFS/iSCSI,
creates NFS dataset dirs, configures Pacemaker with DRBD + XFS + iSCSI
+ nfs-server + VIP; STONITH disabled initially (enable separately)
cluster-enable-stonith.sh — enables fence_pve_ssh STONITH after key deploy
fence-pve-ssh.py — Proxmox SSH fence agent (node names updated to ha-server-1/2)
acceptance-tests.sh — T1–T7 production acceptance tests
test-lab/ha/ removed — all Nix config moved to modules/ha/ and
modules/build-types/; scripts moved to scripts/ha/
