[DRBD-user] How to convert existing lvm2 filesystem to use drbd

[Bernie Wu]

Hi Listers,
We currently have one guest with an existing VG ( vgora_dbms ) with 2 LV's ( lvdbms01 and lvdbms02 ) and some free space.  Before I create another guest with identical VG attributes, I would like to convert the current VG to be used and controlled by drbd.
My listing of vgdisplay  and /etc/drbd.conf follows:

# vgdisplay -v vgora_dbms
    Using volume group(s) on command line
    Finding volume group "vgora_dbms"

# cat drbd.conf
global {
    disable-ip-verification;
}
common {
    protocol C;
}
resource dbms01 {
    device /dev/drbd01;
    disk   /dev/vgora_dbms/lvdbms01;
    meta-disk internal;
    on lnocsrq1 {
       address 172.27.100.211:7788;
    }
    on lnocsrq2 {
       address 172.27.100.212:7788;
    }
}
resource dbms02 {
    device /dev/drbd02;
    disk   /dev/vgora_dbms/lvdbms02;
    meta-disk internal;
    on lnocsrq1 {
       address 172.27.100.211:7788;
    }
    on lnocsrq2 {
       address 172.27.100.212:7788;
    }
}

When I run "drbdadm -c /etc/drbd.conf  create-md all "  I get the following error:

/etc/drbd.conf:23: conflicting use of IP '172.27.100.211:7788' ...
/etc/drbd.conf:12: IP '172.27.100.211:7788' first used here.

Any ideas on how to :

1.      convert an existing lvm2 filesystem to use drbd ?

2.      create several resources in /etc/drbd.conf

TIA
Bernie Wu
