Hello, We have two Dell 1425 servers running CentOS 5.4, with RAID5, 3 disks in each one, and drbd 8.3 between them.
We see a disk failure on _all_ 3 disks on the secondary node. The disks were sent us to new by Dell. We could at this point clone the 3 disks of the primary node, using the controller, without booting CentOS (not sure if this will work though). Then we can put the 3 cloned disks in the secondary node, switch on the primary first, then switch on the 2nd but keeping it disconnected. We could change the network configuration on the 2nd node before reconnecting it to the network. We're very worried about the drbd partitions metadata being the same on each node: does this method have any chance of success, or are we wasting our time? Thanks, M. _______________________________________________ drbd-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user
