SettingUpNet orkRAID1WithDRBDOnUbuntu11.10
Version 1.0 Author: Falko Timme <ft [at] falkotimme [dot] com> Follow me on Twitter Last edited 10/28/2011 This tutorial shows how to set up network RAID1 with the help of DRBD on two Ubuntu 11.10 systems. DRBD stands for Distributed eplicated Block Device and allows you to mirror block devices over a network. This is useful for high-availability setups (like a HA NFS server) because if one node fails, all data is still available from the other node. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

1Preliminar Note
I will use two servers here (both running Ubuntu 11.10): s r e 1 e a p e c m(IP address 1 2 1 8 0 1 0 evr. ml.o 9.6..0) s r e 2 e a p e c m(IP address: 1 2 1 8 0 1 1 evr. ml.o 9.6..0) Both nodes have an unpartitioned second drive (/ e / d ) with identical size (30GB in this example) that I want to mirror over the network (network RAID1) with the help of DRBD. dvsb It is important that both nodes can resolve each other, either through DNS or through / t / o t . If you did not create DNS records for s r e 1 e a p e c mand echss evr. ml.o s r e 2 e a p e c m you can modify / t / o t on both nodes as follows: evr. ml.o, echss ser er1/ser er2: vechss i/t/ot
