Highly available iSCSI on RHEL 7
This guide outlines the configuration of a highly-available iSCSI storage cluster using DRBD, Pacemaker, and Corosync. iSCSI provides access to block devices via TCP/IP, which allows storage to be accessed remotely using standard networks.
This guide is available in english.
Highly available NFS on RHEL 7
This guide can be used to deploy a High Availability (HA) NFS cluster using DRBD, Pacemaker, and Corosync on a RHEL/CentOS 7 server.
This guide is available in english.
Highly available iSCSI with DRBD and Pacemaker
If you want to operate a highly available iSCSI SAN, this is the guide that you’re looking for . Step by step, we will show you how to configure and administer High Availability with DRBD and Pacemaker for fail-safe iSCSI targets.
This guide is available in english.
Root on DRBD
In Root on DRBD Philipp Marek, Senior Developer at LINBIT, shows how to use DRBD to implement a block based backup solution for your mobile device. By putting the root file system directly upon DRBD it is possible to draw fast, incremental, space-efficient backups from your disk to a remote location. This guide explains the necessary steps and additional scripts required to fully automate the process.
DRBD 8.4 with GFS2 and Pacemaker
Dual-Primary DRBD is one of the most requested cluster modes. This guide will walk you through installing DRBD with the GFS2 clustered filesystem.
Dual Primary: Think Twice
Planning to run DRBD in Dual-Primary mode? Then you should read this document forwards and backwards. LINBIT highlights common pitfalls and explains where you had better use good care.
Highly available Virtualization with KVM, iSCSI & Pacemaker
Are you planning to deploy your enterprise cloud? Then you’ll need this document to make your virtualization infrastructure highly available. With this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to use open source iSCSI targets to quickly and easily migrate KVM domains between physical servers — and how to use that functionality for high availability!
Highly available OpenVZ with NFS and Pacemaker
You run OpenVZ container based virtualization? Then you’ll need this document to make your containers highly available. With this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to use NFS to quickly and easily migrate containers between physical servers — and how to use that functionality for high availability!
