All:<div><br></div><div>Fairly new to DRBD, so request patience with framing the question itself.</div><div><br></div><div>Net Net - want to "use" secondary DRBD storage to start up the database and do consistency checks, and if everything pans out, re-synchronize the volumes.</div>
<div><br></div><div>From reading the user guide, it would appear to me that the following can work (assuming that the volumes have been correctly paired and are in ds:UptoDate/UptoDate).</div><div><br></div><div>1) "Down" the resource to get the secondary into standalone mode</div>
<div>2) bring up db on secondary drbd devices and run checks</div><div>3) "Up" the resource</div><div><br></div><div>Questions are:-</div><div>1) If the use case feasible ? Assuming YES!</div><div>2) Does the drbd pairing have to detached (part if down) ?</div>
<div>2a) will the entire device have to resync (even if via checksum) after the detach ?</div><div>3) Or is a disconnect sufficient to make secondary volumes available ?</div><div><br></div><div>TIA,</div><div><br></div><div>
