[Help] Openfiler 2.3 Active/Passive Cluster (heartbeat,DRBD) With Offsite Replication

Hi,

i am stuck on one of the step in the guide of Openfiler 2.3 Active/Passive Cluster (heartbeat,DRBD) With Offsite Replication Node

[root@openfiler1 ~]# drbdadm create-md meta
'meta' ignored, since this host (openfiler1.local) is not mentioned with an 'on' keyword.

i understand the this might be some error in my /etc/drbd.conf file, but where is it?

anyhelp will be appreciate.

thank you.

 

check if the names of the hosts of your ressources in drbd.conf file match with the cmd "uname -n"

 

Suppose you have server1 and server2,

Then in server1's drbd.conf mention 'on server1' as second resource

and in server2's drbd.conf mention 'on server2' as second resource


eg
server1 drbd.conf:
resource <resname> {
...
on server2{...}
on server1{...}
}


server2 drbd.conf:
resource <resname> {
...
on server1{...}
on server2{...}
}


It works for me, I know these files should be exactly the same on both/all
machines but they seem to not detect the resource conf if the current host
is mentioned first.
