DRBD and HA question

[dinster]

hi sir

i've 2 physical server ie. Dell R410 (Xeon 5500, 8GB ram, some SAS HDD)

i don't have SAN. Citrix, VMware and RHEV all needs SAN so that their HA function to work.

from the wiki page, i understand that Proxmox uses DRBD to create a "network" RAID 1.

having said that, what would need to be done if my server A fails? can i just re-start my guest on server B?

we are currently working on easy to configure HA solution but not finished yet. (see roadmap).

you can configure DRBD now that you can the VM on the other node if the first one is gone.

see this link about DRBD on Proxmox VE:
