All: Fairly new to DRBD, so request patience with framing the question itself. Net Net - want to "use" secondary DRBD storage to start up the database and do consistency checks, and if everything pans out, re-synchronize the volumes. >From reading the user guide, it would appear to me that the following can work (assuming that the volumes have been correctly paired and are in ds:UptoDate/UptoDate). 1) "Down" the resource to get the secondary into standalone mode 2) bring up db on secondary drbd devices and run checks 3) "Up" the resource Questions are:- 1) If the use case feasible ? Assuming YES! 2) Does the drbd pairing have to detached (part if down) ? 2a) will the entire device have to resync (even if via checksum) after the detach ? 3) Or is a disconnect sufficient to make secondary volumes available ?
