[DRBD-user] DRBD9: full-mesh and managed resources

direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Hello,

I'm currently running a three nodes cluster with drbd 9.0.3 and
drbdmanage 0.97.

It happens that in my setup i can dedicate two phisical interfaces per
node to the storage network, and possibly create a "full mesh" network
as of Chapter 5.1.4 of DRBD9 manual
(http://drbd.linbit.com/doc/users-guide-90/ch-admin-manual#s-drbdconf-conns).


The goal is to use only dedicated links (no network switch) for the
storage network connections.

I understand that this network topology is currently not supported by
drbdmanage, and I'm asking if it would be possible to configure the
three storage nodes as usual (one ip address per node) and change the
configuration of the network connections afterwards.

In particular I see that currently is not possible to dedicate an IP for
every different link betwen a managed resource and its peer node.

Am I wrong? Any advice/suggestion?

thanks,
rob
