[DRBD-user] Moving a DRBD cluster from physical machines to VMWare machines

Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Looking for guidance from Linbit, or the list, about DRBD's disks
remaining on two separate physical servers, except that the peer
servers are virtualized?

For instance: Writes of approximately 18,000 blocks per second for the
busy hours, as reported by SAR.  How much a performance hit is there
with the same hardware after VMWare is in the picture?  (I'm sure
there are VMWare config settings to optimize disk reads/writes for an
application like DRBD.)


Thanks.
