Hi, This is the setup that we've in mind: We've setup 2 xen servers, each domU have a LV (replicated in each server). Each LV will have his DRBD resource. We will use heartbeat to use the live xen migration. A bit more explained: ServerA vg00 (dev/sda4) --> lvxen0 (5GB) --> drbd0 (domU root partition) disk = [ 'drbd:drbd0,sda1,w', ] ServerB vg00 (dev/sda4) --> lvxen0 (5GB) --> drbd0 (domU root partition) disk = [ 'drbd:drbd0,sda1,w', ] Heartbeat will detect a network fail, it must kill machines in serverA and poweroff machines in serverB.
