[DRBD-announce] DRBD MC 0.9.0 / Pacemaker GUI

[Rasto Levrinc]

Hi,

This is the next DRBD MC release 0.9.0. DRBD MC is DRBD, Pacemaker and
Virtual Manager GUI.

There are couple of new features in this release: The Heartbeat config
form has now all the important options, virtual manager works with Xen,
Pacemaker init script is used, if mcp is used, zooming and scrolling is
improved, DRBD MC generates now drbd.d/ style config, DRBD common section
is generated now as well, Debian Squeeze is supported, Pacemaker 1.1.5 is
supported and the whole application has been translated to Japanese, phew!

You may be surprised to hear it, but I actually didn't translate it to
Japanese all alone, but Takashi Takizawa helped me a little. Well,
actually he did the whole thing, what I assume to be a Japanese
translation. ^_^

You can get DRBD MC here:

4. Start it: java -jar DMC-0.9.0.jar
5. It connects to the cluster via SSH.
