Hi Milind, We have our own heart-beat mechanism. That detects primary down and then changes role of secondary to primary. I can see in the sys-log that DRBD at secondary detected primary going down after this only we try to change role at Secondary. For us it takes 10 to 15 seconds to change role of Secondary primary after detecting primary down. Above that we have retry mechanism which takes around 10 seconds (5 retries with 2 seconds delay). I am getting following messages in sys-log: Jul 13 17:52:07 F101-SLOT-1 kernel: drbd0: PingAck did not arrive in time. Jul 13 17:52:07 F101-SLOT-1 kernel: drbd0: drbd0_asender [8883]: cstate Connected --> NetworkFailure Jul 13 17:52:07 F101-SLOT-1 kernel: drbd0: asender terminated but looks like it is stuck some-where and when we try to change role it returns error. It is not going into WFConnection state. Thanks, Parag. -----Original Message----- From: Milind Dumbare [mailto:milind at linsyssoft.com] Sent: Friday, July 14, 2006 1:07 PM To: Badge Parag-G19470 Cc: drbd-user at linbit.com Subject: Re: [DRBD-user] Unable to change role from Secondary to Primary Is heartbeat running? #/etc/init.d/heartbeat status or Do you want secondary to be primary manually?
