Hi Boyko,

HVM is a requisite I'm afraid, that's the reason why I can't the drbd block script.

OK, thank you, I will it this way. There is then still the question about how to backup, but I will create a new post for that.

thx,

B.

Hi,

For live migration use PV DomUs and Xen's drbd block script - it automatically 
switches primary/secondary states on both domUs while migrating.

Anyway yes, its that simple - two primaries and live migration works.

Note: I've been having some issues (crashes) with centos xen kernel and drbd 
8.3.10 - don't have the time to investigate further.

Hi,

I want to combine all the above mentioned technologies.

The Linbit pages warn not to use the drbd: VBD with HVM DomUs.

This page however:

http://publications.jbfavre.org/virtualisation/cluster-xen-corosync-pacemaker-drbd-ocfs2.en

(thank you Jean), simply puts two DRBD devices in dual primary mode and starts 
Xen DomUs while pointing to the DRBD devices with phy: in the DomU config files.
Live migration and HVM seem possible.

Is it as simple as Jean describes it? What is the advantage then of the drbd: 
VBD? Just seeing to it that the dual primary is available (which is handled on 
Jean's Howto by Pacemaker)?


Thx!


B.
