Create DRBD Partitions on disk (Both Nodes)
The commands below assume that /dev/sdb will be used for the DRBD partition.
device=/dev/sdb dd if=/dev/zero of=${device} obs=512 count=100 dd if=/dev/zero of=${device} obs=512 count=100 seek=$(( $(blockdev --getsz ${device}) -100 )) parted ${device} "mklabel gpt" parted ${device} "mkpart primary 0% 100%"
Verify that the partition is created:
fdisk -l /dev/sdb --> WARNING: fdisk GPT support is currently new, and therefore in an experimental phase. Use at your own discretion. Disk /dev/sdb: 274.9 GB, 274877906944 bytes, 536870912 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk label type: gpt Disk identifier: E7FF3D92-84BB-44E1-B0B0-26150DB80639 # Start End Size Type Name 1 2048 536868863 256G Microsoft basic primary
Install DRBD Repos (Both Nodes)
rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-3.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
Install DRBD Modules (Both Nodes)
yum -y install drbd84-utils kmod-drbd84
Configure Firewall (Both Nodes)
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=7788-7799/tcp --permanent firewall-cmd --reload
Configure DRBD (Both Nodes)
NOTE: The following commands requires the hostname of both machines and the IP Address. These are obtained as follows:
ip addr hostname
Create a DRBD config file for jtelshared on /dev/sdb
/etc/drbd.d/jtelshared.res
cat <<EOFF > /etc/drbd.d/jtelshared.res resource jtelshared { protocol C; meta-disk internal; device /dev/drbd1; syncer { verify-alg sha1; } net { allow-two-primaries; } on acd-store1 { disk /dev/sdb1; address 10.4.8.71:7789; } on acd-store2 { disk /dev/sdb1; address 10.4.8.171:7789; } startup { become-primary-on both; } } EOFF
Create Metadata and start (Both Nodes)
drbdadm create-md jtelshared drbdadm up jtelshared
Make one node primary (First Node)
drbdadm primary jtelshared --force
Tune the transfer (Second Node)
drbdadm disk-options --c-plan-ahead=0 --resync-rate=110M jtelshared
Create filesystem (Primary Node)
mkfs.xfs -L data /dev/drbd1
Create fstab entry for file system (both nodes)
Add the following line to /etc/fstab
/dev/drbd/by-res/jtelshared/0 /srv/jtel/shared xfs noauto,noatime,nodiratime 0 0
Mount the file system (primary node)
Add the following line to /etc/fstab
mkdir /srv/jtel mkdir /srv/jtel/shared chown -R jtel:jtel /srv/jtel mount /srv/jtel/shared
Wait for initial sync to complete

Untune the transfer (Second Node)
drbdadm adjust jtelshared
Make second node primary and mount the file system (Secondary node)
Add the following line to /etc/fstab
mkdir /srv/jtel mkdir /srv/jtel/shared chown -R jtel:jtel /srv/jtel drbdadm primary jtelshared
