Hello,
we use two Citrix XenServer 5.5 with DRBD and DRBD-Proxy and we have slow HDD
performance.
We use an extra NIC for DRBD on both servern and the connection for DRBD is a
SDSL with 2MBit sym.
For dom0 is dom0_mem configured with 2048MB.
Here is our /etc/drbd.conf:
global { usage-count yes; }
common {
protocol A;
net {
shared-secret "xenserver";
after-sb-0pri discard-zero-changes;
after-sb-1pri consensus;
after-sb-2pri disconnect;
ping-timeout 20;
}
disk {
max-bio-bvecs 1;
}
startup {
# leave this disabled for now
become-primary-on bornheim;
}
handlers {
split-brain "/usr/lib/drbd/notify-split-brain.sh";
}
syncer { rate 284k; }
}
resource drbd-sr {
device /dev/drbd1;
disk /dev/sda3;
meta-disk internal;
syncer {
csums-alg md5;
}
proxy {
compression on;
memlimit 1024M;
}
on bornheim {
address 127.0.0.1:7789;
proxy on bornheim {
inside 127.0.0.1:7788;
outside 192.168.93.1:7788;
}
}
on koeln {
address 127.0.0.1:7789;
proxy on koeln {
inside 127.0.0.1:7788;
outside 192.168.94.1:7788;
}
}
}
One VM is Debian Lenny with bonnie++.
Some tests with bonnie show this:

The VM's (Windows Server 2000) are very slow and hang sometimes.
We observed that the primary HDD's sometimes in use (flashing) and the
secondary HDD's permanently in use. And there is much traffic on the DRBD
network.
I don't know where the error is ... Any ideas ?
Thanks
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Dietmar Simons
