Dear All, Previously we have used CentOS4.4 release with Supported Cluster Suite and DRBD 8.0.0 Active/passive (failover) We have build the DRBD 8.0.0 Source in CentOS4.4 Setup We have configured the DRBD Resource with default OS installed LVM (/dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol00 and /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol01) Partition and its working fine Partition Tables are listed below ================================= Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol02 3.0G 1.1G 1.7G 39% / /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol03 11G 8.5G 1.7G 84% /usr /dev/hda1 494M 37M 432M 8% /boot tmpfs 248M 0 248M 0% /dev/shm /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol01 8.5G 148M 7.9G 2% /home /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol00 13G 161M 12G 2% /backup Currently we are migrating to CentOS5.5 Step 1: We have migrated to CentOS5.5 Alone and Used Older DRBD 8.0.0 Version We have build the DRBD 8.0.0 Source in CentOS5.5 Setup We have configured the DRBD Resource with default OS installed LVM (/dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol00 and /dev/mapper/vgroot-LogVol01) Partition The DRBD Meta data created successfully, but DRBD Module Load failed Errors are listed below ======================= [root@corviewprimary user]# service drbd start Starting DRBD resources: Can not load the drbd module.
