yes, but dual-primary is needed (this is how the Anvil! does live migration). With DRBD 9, you can set it up to momentarily do dual-primary to support live migration, though I have not used this myself yet. With dual-primary, you need to be sure a few things are in place (ie: proper fencing, but you need that anyway, a cluster resource manager, etc). -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.com/w/ "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould _______________________________________________ Users mailing list: Users@clusterlabs.org http://lists.clusterlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/users Project Home: http://www.clusterlabs.org Getting started: http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/Cluster_from_Scratch.pdf Bugs: http://bugs.clusterlabs.org
