hi,
I use two nodes with SLES10 SP2 full pached
DRBD 8.2.6 primary / primary on it
we use an OCFS2 on LV on top of DRBD for XEN DomUŽs

for Gianluca
you are right, when I create an other LV on top of DRBD,
I need de-activate VG on the first node an activate on the other node.
after that I can change to primary / primary mode.

Regards
Andreas
