Hi,

I am about to run a contingency test for some of our servers.  This 
involves shutting down the main server (drbd master), starting the 
standby server (drbd secondary -> drbd master), and restarting the main 
server as the secondary server.

Is there any special procedures to follow when I restart the (ex)main 
server.  Will it come up as a drbd secondary server automatically?

What I am concerned about is that when it is restarted it will bring 
itself up into its previous drbd primary state, and cause all sorts of 
data loss.

Any advise much appreciated.
