Hello everybody!First I'd like say that Proxmox is pretty damn awesome, and when i found out about DRBD, I just about went ape crazy with

excitement! So, I made 2 servers, and followed allt eh instructions, made teh cluster, and second nic with crossover cable, and when I got to Type in apt-get install drbd8-utils I get a message saying it couldn't find the package.....I've researched on google, and this forum, and linbits forums, and haven't gotten an answer why. Only that the Debian kernal that proxmox VE 1.8 uses is supposed to haveit built in? Can someone help me out?
 
apt-get install drbd8-utils should install the package, see also this direct link to our repo.
 
I'm not much a savy linux user. I'll look at the repo link, and see if it can solve my problem, but doing the apt-get tells me theres no package. and I've checked my spelling tons of different times.
 
btw, if you have no deep Linux knowledge DRBD is probably not the right solution for you.
 
with a walkthrough and a good support thread I can learn. WE just wanted to set-up our Proxmox servers so they would have the same data on both machines, incase one failed the other would pick up, without hastle. and DRBD seemed the easiest way to accomplish just that.
 
Found solution and have successfully Installed DRBD on 2 seperate servers. Prob was, I needed to update the packages even though I had the latest download of proxmox LOL!

Here's the solution

Update your repository and packages:

aptitude update If you get any errors, your sources.list (or your network) has a problem. Before you update your system, you should stop all your running VM´s.
Now upgrade the packages:

aptitude safe-upgrade
