Lars,

Thanks for the info. It makes sense that you can have an Active - Active on the top layer, but not on the bottom two layers. It wasn't immediately obvious in the documentation.

Currently, I'm just investigating into what DRBD can do, so I don't have a particular implementation in mind yet.

Thanks,

Kim

Is it possible to have an active active configuration using stacked
resources?

This wasn't clear to me in the documentation.

Something like,

Node A  Active \
Node B             / R0
Node C  Active \
Node D            / R1

R0 Active \
R1 Active / R2

Access stacked resource at R2.
Works, but, as always, with dual primary,
you have to get the fencing and stonith right!

              [pri]<---->  [pri]
                |            |
                v            v
[sec]<----- [pri]        [pri] ----->  [sec]

Depending on your requirements,
the latency behaviour will look bad, though.


Does not work:

              [pri]<---->  [pri]
                |            |
                v            v
[pri]<---->  [pri]        [pri]<---->  [pri]


As changes originating on the leaves
can not travel to the other end.


What would you like to do?
