Betreff: [DRBD-user] Questions regarding offsite disaster/recovery (fromstacked drbd device)



Hi list, 

i've successfully implemented a three-node setup with an offsite node via drbd stacked-device as explained in the users-guide

( http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-pacemaker-stacked-resources.html <http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-pacemaker-stacked-resources.html>  ) 

the offsite drbd-device status is always 'secondary' because it has to stay in sync with the 'primary' (stacked) device managed by pacemaker crm.

afaik 'secondary' devices cannot be mounted/accessed. 

so, how can i access the offsite data, assumed all nodes in my ha-cluster failed? 

how to handle the different states, the offsite-device can be in and how to do a recovery from it? 
i can think these: 
  -  cs:WFConnection   ro:Secondary/Unknown ds:UpToDate/DUnknown 
  -  cs:WFConnection/Unknown   ro:Secondary/Primary ds:Outdated/DUnknown 
  -  cs:WFConnection/Unknown   ro:Secondary/Primary ds:Consistent/DUnknown 
  -  cs:WFConnection/Unknown   ro:Secondary/Primary ds:Inconsistent/DUnknown 


is there a possibility to make the data on the offsite node permanently available (read only)? 
  e.g. so i can always 'clone' my production data to my test-environment from the state: 
    cs:Connected   ro:Secondary/Primary ds:UpToDate/UpToDate 


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with kind regards
