Hi, I am new to drbd/heartbeat and hope to get a brief answer for the following situation: - drbd version: 8.3.4 - heartbeat version: 2.1.4 - OS: centos 5.5 x86_64 - guide: http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-heartbeat-r1.html I got it working without dopd. Now I would like to deploy dopd following this guide: http://fghaas.wordpress.com/2007/10/01/an-underrated-cluster-admins-companion-dopd/ The problem is that when I start one node and its peer is down/dead, it refuses to become primary (its state is Consistent). I did some searching and the best piece of relevant information I have found so far is this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/drbd-user@lists.linbit.com/msg01164.html Can someone please confirm this: using drbd-8.3.4 with dopd, both peers must be available so that one can become primary? The above thread hinted that fiddling with metadata could help, but it seems too much advanced for my level. I tried: drbdadm -- --overwrite-data-of-peer primary r0 but didn't work. Even after a drbdadm disconnect r0 it keeps refusing to become primary. Any hint please? thanks, Tony
