Ok this is a cross list post (DRBD and SCST) as I don't know if this is an issue BETWEEN DRBD and SCST I believe I'm doing this as "plain" as I can but STILL have issues, clean rebuild etc. This is a LONG email but I feel it's the only way I'm going to get anywhere with trying to solve the issue I'm having. I really need one of "the powers that be" tell me what step I'm either missing or what i'm screwing up. I have a very simple setup in a lab environment for now (no use implementing this in production unless I can get it working in the lab) I'm using VMware workstation. I have a single VM setup. 1024Mb RAM 1 cpu, 4 cores (Core i5 is the lab machine) 6 nic's (4 for MPIO), 1 for dedicated drbd replication, 1 for "management acces" + heartbeat serial connection for heartbeat. VMdisks are IDE, NOT lsi scsi (keeping it simple in the lab) Basically I want to build a simple iSCSI SAN (x2) for redundancy scst iscsi-scst drbd heartbeat lvm2 storage00 Ubuntu 10.40 LTS 64bit Followed the bouncing ball for the installation. Manually configured partitions / 20GB swap 512MB unmounted 1GB partition (/devdrbd0 once configured) unmounted 40GB partition (/dev/drbd1 once configured) Installation completes with no issues. Now I'm doing a blow by blow for this as I need someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong. -> Login as user root at storage00:sudo su root at storage00:passwd root root at storage00:exit root at storage00:exit -> Login as root root at storage00:apt-get update root at storage00:apt-get install ssh openssh-server ntp ntpdate root at storage00:exit -> SSH from now on -> Setup some basic stuff root at storage00:/# cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.10 storage00 192.168.1.11 storage01 # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters root at storage00:/# cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.
