I have two servers to host a website. Only one is actively used at a time, the other one acts as hot standby. All data ist replicated via DRBD from the currentlly active server (primary) to the backup server (secondary). I recently had to set up a new secondary, because the original one had hardware problems. So i followed the instructions in the documentation (http://www.drbd.org/users-guide-8.3/s-node-failure.html#s-perm-node-failure). The status of the primary node: version: 8.3.7 (api:88/proto:86-91) srcversion: EE47D8BF18AC166BE219757 1: cs:StandAlone ro:Primary/Unknown ds:UpToDate/DUnknown r---- ns:0 nr:0 dw:202926340 dr:247194962 al:2452 bm:757 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:b oos:215272 The status of the secondary node: version: 8.3.11 (api:88/proto:86-96) srcversion: F937DCB2E5D83C6CCE4A6C9 1: cs:WFConnection ro:Secondary/Unknown ds:Inconsistent/DUnknown C r----- ns:0 nr:0 dw:0 dr:0 al:0 bm:0 lo:0 pe:0 ua:0 ap:0 ep:1 wo:f oos:242699884 This seems to be all right. But when issuing a connect on the primary it immediately disconnects again. The log on the secondary has the following entries: Aug 24 21:59:15 www2 kernel: [ 3780.076072] block drbd1: Handshake successful: Agreed network protocol version 91 Aug 24 21:59:15 www2 kernel: [ 3780.076122] block drbd1: conn( WFConnection -> WFReportParams ) Aug 24 21:59:15 www2 kernel: [ 3780.076180] block drbd1: Starting asender thread (from drbd1_receiver [2502]) Aug 24 21:59:15 www2 kernel: [ 3780.077178] block drbd1: data-integrity-alg: <not-used> Aug 24 21:59:15 www2 kernel: [ 3780.077235] block drbd1: drbd_sync_handshake: Aug 24 21:59:15 www2 kernel: [ 3780.077272] block drbd1: self 0000000000000004:0000000000000000:0000000000000000:0000000000000000 bits:60674971 flags:0 Aug 24 21:59:15 www2 kernel: [ 3780.077328] block drbd1: peer E2227E948E7B07CD:4445769C1EF0ADCC:B744D0729CC042CC:5AD0061929ED5B9D bits:53813 flags:0 Aug 24 21:59:15 www2 kernel: [ 3780.077343] block drbd1: conn( WFReportParams -> NetworkFailure ) Aug 24 21:59:15 www2 kernel: [ 3780.077349] block drbd1: asender terminated Aug 24 21:59:15 www2 kernel: [ 3780.077351] block drbd1: Terminating drbd1_asender Aug 24 21:59:15 www2 kernel: [ 3780.077509] block drbd1: uuid_compare()=-2 by rule 20 Aug 24 21:59:15 www2 kernel: [ 3780.077549] block drbd1: Becoming sync target due to disk states.

As far as i understand it, they do have a connection, agree on a protocol, notice that secondary needs to be fully synced and then just drop the connection for no apparent reason. Can you tell me why this might be or where i can get further information as for why the conenction is being dropped? Thanks a lot Koschi
