DRBD : Configure2015/03/10

Configure DRBD after installing.
This example is based on the environment like follows.

+----------------------+          |          +----------------------+
| [   DRBD Server#1  ] |10.0.0.30 | 10.0.0.31| [   DRBD Server#2  ] |
|   drbd01.srv.world   +----------+----------+   drbd02.srv.world   |
|                      |                     |                      |
+----------------------+                     +----------------------+

It's necessarry the server you'd like to install DRBD has free block-device.

This example shows to configure to use a block-device "/dev/vg_r0/lv_r0".

[1]

Configure DRBD on both Hosts.

[root@drbd01 ~]#

vi /etc/drbd.d/global_common.conf

# add follows in the disk section ( detach disk if IO errors happen )

disk {

on-io-error detach;

[root@drbd01 ~]#

vi /etc/drbd.d/r0.res

# create new

resource r0 {

# DRBD device

device /dev/drbd0;

# block device

disk /dev/vg_r0/lv_r0;
meta-disk internal;
on drbd01.srv.world {

# IP address:port

address 10.0.0.30:7788;
}
on drbd02.srv.world {
address 10.0.0.31:7788;
}
}

# load module

[root@drbd01 ~]#

modprobe drbd

[root@drbd01 ~]#

lsmod | grep drbd

drbd                  343511  0
libcrc32c               1246  1 drbd

# create DRBD resource

[root@drbd01 ~]#

drbdadm create-md r0

[root@drbd01 ~]#

/etc/rc.d/init.d/drbd start

Starting DRBD resources: [
     create res: r0
   prepare disk: r0
    adjust disk: r0drbd r0: Starting worker thread (from drbdsetup-84 [17259])

To abort waiting enter 'yes' [ 18]:

yes

[root@drbd01 ~]#

chkconfig drbd on

[root@drbd01 ~]#

echo "/sbin/modprobe drbd" >> /etc/rc.local

[2]	After configuring on both Hosts, sync data on a Host.

# current status is "Secondary/Secondary"

[root@drbd01 ~]#

cat /proc/drbd

[3]	It's OK to configure DRBD, create file system on DRBD device and mount it to use.

[root@drbd01 ~]#

mkfs.ext4 /dev/drbd0

[root@drbd01 ~]#

mkdir /drbd_disk

[root@drbd01 ~]#

mount /dev/drbd0 /drbd_disk

[root@drbd01 ~]#

df -hT

Filesystem           Type   Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root

# try to create a test file

[root@drbd01 ~]#

touch /drbd_disk/test.txt

[root@drbd01 ~]#

ll /drbd_disk

drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Mar 12 12:01 lost+found
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     0 Mar 12 12:52 test.txt

[4]	To mount DRBD device on the secondary Host, do it like follows.

########### on primary Host ###########

# unmount and get secondary role

[root@drbd01 ~]#

umount /drbd_disk

[root@drbd01 ~]#

drbdadm secondary r0

########### on secondary Host ###########

# get primary role and mount

[root@drbd02 ~]#

drbdadm primary r0

[root@drbd02 ~]#

mount /dev/drbd0 /drbd_disk

[root@drbd02 ~]#

df -hT
