Instruction for active-passive configuration for Ubuntu

These steps demonstrating the setup for an active-passive configuration are performed on two Ubuntu 18.04 virtual instances. Although your environment may differ, the essential configuration will be the same. Steps in most cases need to be performed on both nodes (as indicated by: “both nodes”) unless indicated by “only one node”. Please note that the two nodes will need access to shared storage for the path which is exported by Fusion File Share as an SMB share. Please also take note that the setup instructions for Pacemaker are very minimal and only cover monitoring the tsmb-server process on the host system and the floating IP (that is served out via DNS), so other dependencies on the host system and environment that may be relevant in an overall HA architecture aren’t covered by this minimal setup.
