A primary node has been built up in a VirtualBox (guest RHEL 6 + DRBD).
In order to get a second node with the same configuration, a VirtualBox cloning operation seems ideal
- easiness
- declare the second node DRBD secondary:
drbdadm secondary resource
- no need to sync the DRBD data (at first glance)
However I was wondering: is that enough of a setup, or does DRBD creates unique data per host, and it'd be better to do another drbdadm create-md
on second node (then sync)?
(Edit: Virtual platform setup to perform tests)
