It breaks down like this node1 # Take over the primary drbd node drbddisk::web # Mount that node Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/mnt/ha # Assign on IP 192.168.0.1 # Start httpd httpd So, if you just want to take over the disk, assign an ip and start httpd then logically you can just skip the Filesystem command that mounts the drive. Something to note, httpd in this case is /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd. We found it useful for creating custom actions. Basically you can make a custom script (say emailing us that a node has changed) as well as it conforms to the init.d standard. You might find this useful for your HA/xen stuff. BTW, there is much more information on this in the linux-ha list. Hope this helps.

My understanding is that if I make a heartbeat resource that looks like this: node1 drbddisk::web Filesystem::/dev/drbd0::/mnt/ha 192.168.0.1 httpd ...then /mnt/ha will be mounted or unmounted as required, which is cool if I actually wanted my drbd disk mounted. However, I'm planning on using Xen, and that is not the case. All I want out of heartbeat is to switch around whether a disk should be primary/secondary. (Well, and also to kick off/kill a domU when needed, but that configuration comes later.) So.... do I need to rewrite the Filesystem heartbeat resource to something that doesn't require a mountpoint argument? Or am I missing something? _______________________________________________ drbd-user mailing list drbd-user at lists.linbit.com http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user
