Hans-G?nter@24501 1 DRBD is a software-based, shared-nothing, replicated storage solution
Hans-G?nter@24501 2 mirroring the content of block devices (hard disks, partitions, logical
Hans-G?nter@24501 3 volumes etc.) between hosts.
Hans-G?nter@24501 4
Hans-G?nter@24501 5 DRBD mirrors data
Hans-G?nter@24501 6
Hans-G?nter@24501 7 * in real time. Replication occurs continuously while applications
Hans-G?nter@24501 8 modify the data on the device.
Hans-G?nter@24501 9 * transparently. Applications need not be aware that the data is stored
Hans-G?nter@24501 10 on multiple hosts.
Hans-G?nter@24501 11 * synchronously or asynchronously. With synchronous mirroring,
Hans-G?nter@24501 12 applications are notified of write completions after the writes have
Hans-G?nter@24501 13 been carried out on all (connected) hosts. With asynchronous mirroring,
Hans-G?nter@24501 14 applications are notified of write completions when the writes have
Hans-G?nter@24501 15 completed locally, which usually is before they have propagated to the
Hans-G?nter@24501 16 other hosts.
