May I suggest you to let drbdmanage be in charge of this question ? I don't know which option it will choose but claerly, drbdmanage simplifies A LOT management of volumes. The only thing important is to have one DRBD ressource per (I assume) VM disk. As such, in caseof split brain, you can still have primary on every node, with or without a synchronized peer. If you design with a signle big ressource, a simple split brain and you're screwed. Julien -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
