hi

Thank you shriram.

sorry for the delayed response. IIRC the blktap2 driver required for
tapdisk replication doesnt exist in the mainstream dom0 kernels, IIRC.
I havent used it in a long time myself. I suggest trying disk
replication with DRBD.

I am also found some information here http://osdir.com/ml/xen-users/2011-07/msg00653.html about blktap2 problem on amd64 architecture. I have tried to install and configure the DRBD but its didn't connect each other.

I used drbd-8.3.11-remus and installed as follow

cd /usr/src/
wget http://remusha.wikidot.com/local--files/configuring-and-installing-remus/drbd-8.3.11-remus.tar.gz
tar xzf drbd-8.3.9-remus.tar.gz
chown -R root:root drbd-8.3-remus 
cd /usr/src/drbd-8.3-remus
chmod 777 autogen.sh
./autogen.sh
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc
cd /usr/src/drbd-8.3-remus/drbd
make clean
make
make install
cd /usr/src/
cp /usr/src/drbd-8.3-remus/scripts/global_common.conf.protoD /etc/drbd.d/global_common.conf
cp /usr/src/drbd-8.3-remus/scripts/testvms_protoD.res /etc/drbd.d/SystemHA_protoD.res

sudo apt-get install drbd8-utils

from tutorial http://remusha.wikidot.com/configuring-and-installing-remus

My *.res configuration as follow :

resource drbd-vm{

device /dev/drbd1;

disk /dev/vgvoip/DomU;

meta-disk internal;

on machine1 {

address 10.10.10.1:7789;

}

on machine2 {

address 10.10.10.3:7789;

}

and then I invoke command to create that meta

drbdadm create-md drbd-vm

However, when I try to make this configuration up by :

drbdadm up drbd-vm

Its come with error :

$ sudo drbdadm up drbd-vm
1: Failure: (124) Device is attached to a disk (use detach first)
Command 'drbdsetup 1 disk /dev/vgvoip/DomU /dev/vgvoip/DomU internal --set-defaults --create-device --fencing=dont-care --on-io-error=pass_on' terminated with exit code 10

If I run the

$ sudo drbdadm detach drbd-vm

Its come error

$ sudo drbdadm detach drbd-vm
1: State change failed: (-2) Need access to UpToDate data
Command 'drbdsetup 1 detach' terminated with exit code 17

Here the /proc/drbd on both machine

Machine 1

$ sudo cat /proc/drbd
