it was kind of hard for me to follow what you are trying to do here,
but here is my shot at answering:<br>
<br>
<i>I created a lv call disk1 on both servers witch i wanted drdb to
sync between them. Is this possible??</i><br>
-- yes, it is possible. I do it myself. I dont use Volgroup00, I
create a separate VG, but should still be ok. <br>
<br>
<br>
I dont personally use internal metadata for the disks, so I cannot talk
about that.<br>
I create another LV along with the data LV.<br>
in your case (the way I do it) I would create: <br>
<i> LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/disk1 (yours is 1Gb)<br>
LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/disk1_metadata (usually around
3Mb per 50Gb, but you can just make it 3Mb for yours too)<br>
</i><br>
change the configurations from <br>
<i>meta-disk internal;</i><br>
TO:<br>
<i>flexible-meta-disk /dev/VolGroup00/disk1_metadata;</i><br>
<br>
then run the commands:<br>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 10pt;">drbdadm
create-md <resource_name> # where resource_name is your resource
name (looks to be "azv")<br>
</p>
<br>
then:<br>
stop/start drbd<br>
<br>
at this point you are at the "dual secondary" state:<br>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 10pt;">drbdadm
state all</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 10pt;">#
both will show as "Secondary"</p>
<br>
<br>
and on whatever server you want to be the source to sync from:<br>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 10pt;"><font
face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 primary
--overwrite-data-of-peer # this will do a full sync from here to your
other server</font><br>
</p>
<br>
you can check the sync status with:<br>
<small><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">cat /proc/drbd<br>
<br>
then you need to create the FS. do this on one server using the
/dev/drbd0 device. it will propagate to the other<br>
</font></small><br>
hope this helps you answer the questions you have..<br>

<div>Fellow drbd's,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have just install two servers(both configured identically
(with as the only diffrence the hostnames and ipadresses) running RHEL
4 and wanted to test Heart Beat with DRBD on them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The heartbeat installation when well, only problem is the drdb
installation. I have already create a VG and LV's on both servers and
don't have space left on disk, only space i can get is from my
Volgroup00. I created a lv call disk1 on both servers witch i wanted
drdb to sync between them. Is this possible?? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>p.s. i didn't create a filesystem on the lv i want drdb to
handle yet, and didn't mount yet.</div>
