Good day,
Someone gives me several limitations of DRBD For MySQL? Here is the list,
1. Idle resource – secondary host sits idle, wasted investment
2. Failover is not instant, nor transparent
-"Cold standby" failover
3. Recovery requires time to start / recover database
4. Recovery process can fail – requires reload
5. Requires database journal capability
-MySQL MyISAM does not work
6. Operation not continuous: planned downtime required
-Active-passive does not cover DB maintenance
-Anything that requires mounted disk
7. Does not address scaling or performance
8. OS Limitations – Some only run on Linux
May someone elaborate or disprove those points?
Thanks.
