[Xen-users] XCP 1.5 DRBD Build

[Andrew Eross <eross@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys,

I wanted to give DRBD a shot on XCP 1.5.. so I followed the nice instructions here for configuration: http://joekane.eu/xenserver-drbd-update-4-the-guide

But he's building for XenServer, so the pre-built rpms he has supplied wouldn't work.

So I re-built them myself on the XCP 1.5 dom0.

For anyone who is interested, this is how I built DRBD on a XCP dom0 (an experimental one that I didn't mind messing up a bit with installing this stuff)

sed -i -e "s/enabled=0/enabled=1/" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

sed -i -e "s/enabled=1/enabled=0/" /etc/yum.repos.d/Citrix.repo

yum install gcc flex rpm-build redhat-rpm-config make libxslt

rpm -i kernel-xen-devel-2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs1.4.90.530.170661.i686.rpm

#might need to put this somewhere else and remote mount it via nfs

wget http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/53341/sources/binpkg.iso

mount -o loop binpkg.iso /mnt

cd /mnt/domain0/RPMS/i686

rpm -i kernel-xen-devel-2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs1.4.90.530.170661.i686.rpm

mkdir /drbd/

cd /drbd/

wget http://oss.linbit.com/drbd/8.4/drbd-8.4.1.tar.gz

tar zxvf drbd-8.4.1.tar.gz

cd drbd-8.4.1

./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --with-km

make tgz

cp drbd*.tar.gz `rpm -E _sourcedir`

rpmbuild -bb drbd.spec

rpmbuild -bb drbd-km.spec

You now have RPMs in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/drbd

You can install the 2 important RPMs like this:

rpm -i drbd-km-2.6.32.12_0.7.1.xs1.4.90.530.170661xen-8.4.1-1.i386.rpm

rpm -i drbd-utils-8.4.1-1.i386.rpm

Then follow the instructions per joe kane.

For those who'd like to give it a try with pre-built RPMs.. we've made them available:

http://download.locatrix.com/drbd/

The two mentioned above for the config instructions could be grabbed down like:

wget http://download.locatrix.com/drbd/drbd-km-2.6.32.12_0.7.1.xs1.4.90.530.170661xen-8.4.1-1.i386.rpm

wget http://download.locatrix.com/drbd/drbd-utils-8.4.1-1.i386.rpm

Cheers,

Andrew
