I have a two-server DRBD primary/secondary configuration, running Heartbeat. Recently, the primary server had a drive failure and had to be rebuilt, leaving the secondary server running the cluster (and quite well, I may add). The time has come to bring the original server back into the fold, which means bringing it back into the DRBD fold, but WITHOUT damaging the existing data. This is my plan to do so - am I on the right track? Am I offbase? Is this the right procedure? * Copy /etc/drbd.conf from the working node to the new node * Create the metadata on the new node with: drbd create-md all * Attach the DRBD device on the new node: drbdadm attach all * Make sure that the new node is in secondary mode: drbdadm secondary all * Connect the new node to the working node, discarding the existing data so that it's overwritten by the good data: drbdadm -- --discard-my-data connect all Is this correct? Will I have to take down Heartbeat while I reconnect? Thanks for your help! Mike Sweetser
