<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have setup two OpenFiler 2.3 instances as Citrix
XenServer 5.5.2 virtual machines, each with a 5GB data-only storage, for
testing Linbitīs DRBD Management Console.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have set up DRBD replication without effort,
directly from the DRBD-MC, with various versions between DMC-0.7.0.jar and
DMC-0.7.7.jar, both on top of raw devices (e.g. /dev/xvdc1) and on top of
pre-configured OpenFiler LVM devices (e.g. /dev/vg0/lv0).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, I have never been able to see any aspect
of HA working with any of the above DRBD-MC versions. Clicking on "Cluster
Hosts" shows "DRBD 8.0.12 (running)" and "Heartbeat 2.1.3 (not running)" or
"Heartbeat 2.1.3 (not running/rc.d)" after <EM>"chkconfig heartbeat
on"</EM> has previously been manually executed at each
host.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Likewise, menu options "Add Service to
Cluster", "Add Group", "Add Service", "Add Constraint Placeholder" and "Remove
All Services", under the "Cluster" and "Services" trees, respectively, ALWAYS
APPEAR GREYED OUT i.e., NOT ENABLED. I actually saw some of these options
enabled one day but only momentarily and for no known reason; in any event
the menu items soon became disabled again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Where can I please find documentation or directions
on how to enable the Cluster and Services menu options and to configure HA using
the DRBD-MC ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kind regards,</FONT></DIV>
