<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Direct back-to-back means a dedicated
pair of NICs and a single cable between them - this optimizes
latency which DRBD is sensitive to.<br>
DRBD is known to work on lesser configurations too, with varying
performance impacts.<br>
The IP network should not matter as far as I know.<br>

<br>
Thank you for making this product available!
<br>
<br>
In your documentation you say:
<br>
"It is recommended that you run your DRBD replication over a
"dedicated connection", preferably a "direct, back-to-back,
Gigabit Ethernet connection."
<br>
<br>
Does this mean a second NIC (in each host) on the same subnet,
<br>
a second NIC (in each host) on a different, separate switch and
subnet,
<br>
or a second NIC (in each host) and a configured cross-over
cable??
<br>
<br>
I am configuring 2 servers on a small network. One as primary
and the second as a hot standby. I want to use DRBD to
replicate the data partition.
<br>
<br>
thanks in advance
<br>
Marcus
