Hello *, I use drbd and dm-crypt with kernel 2.6.5 with debian woody on db1 (192.168.1.1) and db2 (192.168.1.2). It works fine. I copied some files on db1 into the directory /database (where /dev/nb0 is mounted on) and they appeared on db2 also. Now i want combine heartbeat with drbd and i have some questions. I would say there exists four states: 1. db1 up (primary) db2 up (secondary) - should be normal ;-) 2. db1 up (primary) db2 down (unknown) - :-( 3. db1 down (unknown) db2 up (primary) - :-( 4. db1 down (unknown) db2 down (unknown) - :-((( Which actions i have to perform for the transitions? I got puzzled, because heartbeat offers only the possibility to start and stop. For example a normal start up for db2 is drbdadm up resource drbdadm secondary resource, but if db1 (the primary) fails then on db2 you have to issue: drbdadm down resource drbdadm up resource drbdadm primary resource mount /dev/nb0 /database haven't you? And what happens, if db1 comes up again? I really want db1 as primary. Should i wait for resync and make db1 then primary? Or should i switch db1 directly to primary and db2 to secondary? I am puzzled. It would be great when somebody could help. With best regards tom -- NEU : GMX Internet.FreeDSL Ab sofort DSL-Tarif ohne Grundgebühr: http://www.gmx.net/dsl
