I realize SDB could be the best option in my situation. So I prepared a 1G partition on the shared storage, and I downloaded the sbd-1837fd8cc64a.tar.gz file from the http://hg.linux-ha.org/sbd link. Just a doubt: shall I upgrade the corosync/pacemaker versions (unfortunately I cannot)? This is my environment: RHEL 6.2 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Nov 9 08:03:13 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Pacemaker 1.1.6-3 pacemaker-cli-1.1.6-3.el6.x86_64 pacemaker-libs-1.1.6-3.el6.x86_64 pacemaker-cluster-libs-1.1.6-3.el6.x86_64 pacemaker-1.1.6-3.el6.x86_64 Corosync 1.4.1-4 corosync-1.4.1-4.el6.x86_64 corosynclib-1.4.1-4.el6.x86_64 DRBD 8.4.1-2 kmod-drbd84-8.4.1-2.el6.elrepo.x86_64 drbd84-utils-8.4.1-2.el6.elrepo.x86_64
Will it be enough just compile and install the source code or could I fuind troubles concerning dependencies or similar stuff?

I personally recommend as a minimum that you setup a SBD partition and use SBD STONITH. It protects against file/ database corruption in the event of an issue on the underlying storage. Hardware (power) STONITH is considered the "best" protection, but I have had clusters running for years using just SBD STONITH and I would not deploy a cluster managed file system without it, You should also strongly consider setting the "fence on stop failure" for the same reason. The worst possible corruption can be caused by the cluster having a " split brain" due to a partially dismounted file system and another node mounting and writing to it at the same time. Regards D.
