You can choose to not use pygrub...

Or you can choose to create a primary/primary situation (my choise, least 
complexity).. or you can choose to setup a cluster-filsystem..

What you choose is up to you.. They all have their specific drawbacks, and some 
of them highly complicate everything.

It's a pitty pygrub doesn't support block-drbd.. I hope this will change soon!

Cheers,

Bart

This is what I really wanted to know.
What does centos users do to create xen cluster using drbd for
high availability?

Block-drbd doesn't work with RH/centos means .. its impossible or needs lot
of work?

I would really appreciate if some one points me what centos/rh users are
doing to make xen and drbd work to create a high availability cluster.
Didn't find much resources while googling too.


Thanks
Paras.
