Hi all,
This is my first post so hello to the community and congratulation for this wonderful software.
I use proxmox for while (1.8 version in production in a SME) and I'm testing the 2.0 beta3 for HA feature.
What I have done so far is :
- installing / configuring Proxmox 2.0 beta3 in cluster mode on two physical machine
- install DRBD on a second hard drive on both machine and configure one VM (KVM) on a lvm storage on top of DRBD.
Migration from one to other are working (sometime needs a reboot although the "live" migration is used but I will dig into that later.
Now I want to test the following scenario:
I'm running my VM on node 1 of my cluster
I switch off the node 1 (simulation of a fault on this machine)
Assuming I have a problem on node 1 I imagined I could restart the VM on node 2 based on the up to date data of DRBD storage (Is that hypothesis correct ??)
To test this I simply start VM on node 1 and disconnect cable between node 1 and 2.
DRBD detected a spli brain and I 'm testing in Standalone on node 2
Since then acessing to the web interface of Proxmox on node 2 display my VM still on node 1 and migration on node 2 is impossible (pop up open but no target server available)
Did I miss something or am I using the DRBD feature the wrong way ?
Thank you for answers in advance and congratulations again to the development team of this very nice software.
