Hi,

I need to migrate two independent servers into a XEN/DRBD-setup with
two machines. For this reason I want to
-- build a new machine,
-- set it up to replace the first server,
-- move the first server on the new machine
-- then move the second server temporarily as a XEN-instance onto the
first server and then
-- replace the second server with a new machine and
-- move the temporary second server on its own machine.

The idea is to be able to move both servers on one machine if the
other breaks.

The problem is that I would like to prepare the first machine with DRBD
before I have the second node available.
Playing around for two days show that there seems to be no way to set
up a system that way.

I was searching this list, various howtos and google without much
success.

Two questions:

-- Does this work at all?
-- Is there any reasonble Howto?


best regards
