Thanks Roland,

I am not sure if I should start a new topic for this, but now you have me wondering....

I use a classic 3 node setup, LVM backing devices, and a stacked third node for DR using Protocol A.  I have a VPN between the main site and off-site and the latency hovers around 10ms.

Are there compelling reasons for me to look into DRBD 9?  My current setup is pretty solid, so far I have never needed to use the off site copies (touch wood).  I have 12 resources (all KVM HA servers) piped through the VPN.

What does node-id do?
With more than two nodes DRBD needs some information against which other
peer(s) it tracks changes. In DRBD8 you only have one peer, "easy", in
DRBD9 you have to know this is "Node A", this is "Node B",... Using
information that changes (e.g., hostnames) is too volatile. So one has
to give nodes an ID, a unique identifier that never changes. (There are
scenarios where you don't need them even in DRBD9 setups, but let's not
go down that rabbit hole).

Is it a drbd 9.0.x / Linstore thing?  I'm using 8.9.6
yes, a DRBD9 thing.
