Felix,
do you combine your setup with clustering software? Or do you script a
live migration? I'm intrigued by how you handle the timing in the latter
case.

ah, I didn't make this really clear.

I haven't set this up with either live migration capabilities nor
pacemaker. All I have is a hot standby for manual recovery in case of a
primary node failure. Sorry.

I believe that for pacemaker, you would have both your nodes be primary
at all times (i.e., not use a master-slave set at all).
Not a thrilling perspective, I guess.

Cheers,
Felix

I see :-)
The project I'm engaging into does require things like live migration and quick backup. I guess the answer to my question would be to use a dual primary DRBD setup with GFS or OCFS on top of and Pacemaker dealing with the migrations. Backup could then be a matter of snapshot one of the DRBD nodes. If DRBD is built on LVM, this should be easy (after an xm save).

thx again,

B.
