DRBD - Distributed Storage2011/06/02 |
Install DRBD(Distributed Replicated Block Device) and configure Distributed Storage System.
This example shows to configure on the environment like follows.
(1) www01.srv.world [10.0.0.50] (2) www02.srv.world [10.0.0.51]
It needs your machine has enough area to use for free, if your computer does not have such drive, add drive in your computer.

[1] | Install DRBD on both hosts. When installing, a kernel is also installed for dependency, but it is not a latest version, the DRBD from ATrpms depends on "kernel-2.6.32-71.7.1.el6.x86_64" (June 2011 now), so if your machine has laso latest kernel, please downgrade to "kernel-2.6.32-71.7.1.el6.x86_64" to use DRBD from ATrpms. |
# reboot to run with a kernel for DRBD [root@www01 ~]# |
[2] | Create a LVM partition for DRBD device on both hosts. After creating it, create a logical volume like follows. |
[root@www01 ~]# pvcreate /dev/sdb1 Physical volume "/dev/sdb1" successfully created [root@www01 ~]# vgcreate vg_r0 /dev/sdb1 Volume group "vg_r0" successfully created [root@www01 ~]# lvcreate -L 80G -n lv_r0 vg_r0 Logical volume "lv_r0" created |
[3] | Configure DRBD. Set them on both hosts. |
