I'm trying to setup a single "backup" node as the failover for two front-end nodes, each with a separate resource. If either production node fails, the backup server should become primary on its resource. This means the backup node will have two resources and each front-end node will only have one. Here's how I tried to set it up. In this config snippet, test01 and test02 are the front-end production nodes and hyperaxe is the solitary backup node. I'm using the drbd-utils package that ships with Ubuntu Hardy (8.0.11) and whatever version of the module is part of the 2.6.24-19 kernel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- resource mysql { on test01 { disk /dev/vg0/mysql_data; device /dev/drbd0; address 10.99.99.1:7788; meta-disk internal; } on hyperaxe { disk /dev/vg0/mysql_data; device /dev/drbd0; address 10.99.99.3:7788; meta-disk internal; } } resource www { on test02 { disk /dev/vg0/www; device /dev/drbd1; address 10.99.99.2:7789; meta-disk internal; } on hyperaxe { disk /dev/vg0/www; device /dev/drbd1; address 10.99.99.3:7789; meta-disk internal; } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I try to set up the resources using that config, I get this error: root at test01:~# drbdadm create-md mysql /etc/drbd.conf:32: in resource www, on test02 { ... } ... on hyperaxe { ... }: There are multiple host sections for the peer. Maybe misspelled local host name 'test01'? /etc/drbd.conf:32: in resource www, there is no host section for this host. Missing 'on test01 {...}' ? Is what I'm trying to do not possible? Or am I just doing it wrong? Thanks! -Ben
