Drbd is a great addition to Linux, thanks > allot and good luck with the effort of going mainline. > > Would going from 0.7.23 to 8.0 on a 24x7 production cluster be feasible? I personally don't want you to blame us if anything goes wrong. so please: do your own regression tests before converting on the production system. but we at linbit now gradually proceed to upgrade the directly maintained by linbit clusters for our customers. > The previous version has proved to be very stable but we can use any > performance improvements again, do your own benchmarks, if you actually gain performance from drbd 8 for your workload. if you have a 24x7 production cluster, you should have a very good reason to change _anything_ at all. you know about Murphy and stuff... > but I don't know if the upgrade is possible. upgrade is possible, but involves a cluster downtime. you need to replace the module and userland tools, and convert the meta data. > Does heartbeat 1.2.4 work with 8.x? yes. -- : Lars Ellenberg Tel +43-1-8178292-0 : : LINBIT Information Technologies GmbH Fax +43-1-8178292-82 : : Vivenotgasse 48, A-1120 Vienna/Europe http://www.linbit.com : __ please use the "List-Reply" function of your email client.
