[DRBD-user] Force a resource to become primary

[Roy Keene (Contractor)]

All,

	I'm using DRBD 8.2.5 and trying to force a DRBD resource to become primary 
while the peer is unavailable.  My resource is Consistent, but not UpToDate.


# drbdadm -- --overwrite-data-of-peer primary r0
State change failed: (-2) Refusing to be Primary without at least one UpToDate disk
Command 'drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 primary --overwrite-data-of-peer' terminated with 
exit code 11


# cat /proc/drbd
version: 8.2.5 (api:88/proto:86-88)
GIT-hash: 9faf052fdae5ef0c61b4d03890e2d2eab550610c build by

         act_log: used:0/3833 hits:0 misses:0 starving:0 dirty:0 changed:0


How do I force this resource to become primary (given that under the 
circumstances that it will be applied, loss of data integrity/split-brain are 
acceptable outcomes).

Thanks,
