This just seems to me like a simple case of copying data from machine A to whichever is the master out your B/C drbd configuration (if you are running drbd master/slave).

On machine A:

rsync -avz --stats --progress /path/to/your/data B_fqdn:/path/to/destination

Not really a drbd question.

Things to consider:

1. Make sure B and C are properly configured with DRBD and heartbeat for fail over.

2. Test fail overs between B and C.

3. Copy your data with rsync

4. Make sure that the user account space from A is the same as B and C so that all file permissions are correct.

HTH,

Diego

Hi all,

Can somebody gives me a hand on how to migrating data to DRBD from a
plain SCSI device? Say machine A is a regular Linux server, I would like
to migrate /dev/sdb on A to machine B and C which are configured as
mirror partner? B and C can be customized according to machine A.

PS: No need for live migration, downtime is allowed.

Any suggestion is appreciated.


...publicly in this list (since I want to see the answers as well). :-)
