-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 hey list,
i am pretty green to setting up linux servers but, it's what i've fallen into at the moment. i really like ubuntu-desktop and it looks like ubuntu-server has everything we need, so i jumped right in. we have two identical, physical servers with identical hardware. i wanted to set them up with several virtual machines (www, ftp, mail, etc.) and then use DRBD and Heartbeat to make the VM's highly available. i have already installed ubuntu-server onto both machines separately, using similar settings and partitioning. i tasked both with 'openssh server' and 'virtual machine host' for now. i created a RAID-1 set using md and allocated most of it to LVM. the rest of the free space on the volume group i was going to use for the various VM's. (this is still the beginning, so i am willing to redo any of that, given there is good enough reason.) so, what's next? do i provision out my VM's on server #1 and then setup DRBD to mirror those partitions onto server #2? i understand from the server manual that DRBD can be used to mirror a partition, but there are probably more intricacies i need to know about if that partition (logical volume, in this case) contains a virtual machine, no? thanks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREIAAYFAkwMINsACgkQXhfCJNu98qAquACeNEB5A4KfdSkGTz6yX+thVAP8 nZkAn2tZ9OLMHc/zNugAax9M+S5vg9ox =OKE4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
