Hi, just a question:
Having a 2nd pair of network cards for drbd communication between two nodes
can be a real win performance-wise; especially if the main network
connection is via a 10Mbit Hub.
The question is, how to handle failure of this interconnect?
a) Dont handle it - if the secondary card(s)/cable etc. fail, the primary
can continue in disconnected mode. We treat it pretty much like a failure of
the secondary node.
b) provide failover to the primary network card. Sounds interesting, I'd
like to know if anyone tried this yet.
Any ideas what's the right way to do this?
Thanks martin.
