DRBD/Pacemaker was complicated, documentation did not exist or did not match the behavior, the GUI was broken and never really worked. Config files were completely opaque. I spent weeks on this without having something that could work and was documentable. Then I got the DRBD/heartbeat to work without Pacemaker, however, its reliability leaves much to be desired. For example, if both systems come up at the same time, they cannot decide who gets the resource. I did a hack to fix that (restarting heartbeat after boot of one of the systems) but that did not leave me with a warm and comfortable feeling. Then once in a while DRBD would stop syncing. I need to replace our old, aging corporate DRBD/Heartbeat network storage implementation, which always worked, but the servers are now getting old. I am feeling very uncomfortable about using what I have for replacement. i > On Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 12:28 PM, Igor Chudov <[email protected]> wrote: >> I am interested in finding out Open Source alternative that would >> replace both DRBD as well as Heartbeat.
