Hello,
I am able to make drbd work.

Now I want to know can we make partition on drbd while drbd is in uses.

If yes kindly explain me step by step.

If no kindly suggest me any way so that i can make partition on drbd.

Thank you.
With regards
Pradeep Reddy.

NAME
drbdadm - Administration tool for DRBD . SYNOPSIS
drbdadm [-d] [-c {file}] [-t {file}] [-s {cmd}] [-m {cmd}] [-S] [-h {host}] [-- {backend-options}] {command} [all | resource...] DESCRIPTION
Drbdadm is the high level tool of the DRBD program suite. Drbdadm is to drbdsetup and drbdmeta what ifup/ifdown is to ifconfig. Drbdadm reads its configuration file and performs the specified commands by calling the drbdsetup and/or the drbdmeta program. OPTIONS
-d, --dry-run Just prints the calls of drbdsetup to stdout, but does not run the commands. -c, --config-file file Specifies the configuration file drbdadm will use. If this parameter is not specified, drbdadm will look for /etc/drbd-83.conf, /etc/drbd-08.conf and /etc/drbd.conf. -t, --config-to-test file Specifies an additional configuration file drbdadm to check. This option is only allowed with the dump and the sh-nop commands. -s, --drbdsetup file Specifies the full path to the drbdsetup program. If this option is omitted, drbdadm will look for /sbin/drbdsetup and ./drbdsetup. -m, --drbdmeta file Specifies the full path to the drbdmeta program. If this option is omitted, drbdadm will look for /sbin/drbdmeta and ./drbdmeta. -S, --stacked Specifies that this command should be performed on a stacked resource. -P, --peer Specifies to which peer node to connect. Only necessary if there are more than two host sections in the resource you are working on. -- backend-options All options following the doubly hyphen are considered backend-options. These are passed through to the backend command. I.e. to drbdsetup, drbdmeta or drbd-proxy-ctl. COMMANDS
attach Attaches a local backing block device to the DRBD resource's device. detach Removes the backing storage device from a DRBD resource's device. connect Sets up the network configuration of the resource's device. If the peer device is already configured, the two DRBD devices will connect. If there are more than two host sections in the resource you need to use the --peer option to select the peer you want to connect to. disconnect Removes the network configuration from the resource. The device will then go into StandAlone state. syncer Loads the resynchronization parameters into the device. up Is a shortcut for attach and connect. down Is a shortcut for disconnect and detach. primary Promote the resource's device into primary role. You need to do this before any access to the device, such as creating or mounting a file system. secondary Brings the device back into secondary role. This is needed since in a connected DRBD device pair, only one of the two peers may have primary role (except if allow-two-primaries is explicitly set in the configuration file). invalidate Forces DRBD to consider the data on the local backing storage device as out-of-sync. Therefore DRBD will copy each and every block from its peer, to bring the local storage device back in sync. invalidate-remote This command is similar to the invalidate command, however, the peer's backing storage is invalidated and hence rewritten with the data of the local node. resize Causes DRBD to re-examine all sizing constraints, and resize the resource's device accordingly. For example, if you increased the size of your backing storage devices (on both nodes, of course), then DRBD will adopt the new size after you called this command on one of your nodes. Since new storage space must be synchronised this command only works if there is at least one primary node present. The --assume-peer-has-space allows you to resize a device which is currently not connected to the peer. Use with care, since if you do not resize the peer's disk as well, further connect attempts of the two will fail. The --assume-clean allows you to resize an existing device and avoid syncing the new space. This is useful when adding addtional blank storage to your device. Example: # drbdadm -- --assume-clean resize r0 check-resize Calls drbdmeta to eventually move internal meta data. If the backing device was resized, while DRBD was not running, meta data has to be moved to the end of the device, so that the next attach command can succeed. create-md Initializes the meta data storage. This needs to be done before a DRBD resource can be taken online for the first time. In case of issues with that command have a look at drbdmeta(8) get-gi Shows a short textual representation of the data generation identifiers. show-gi Prints a textual representation of the data generation identifiers including explanatory information. dump-md Dumps the whole contents of the meta data storage, including the stored bit-map and activity-log, in a textual representation. outdate Sets the outdated flag in the meta data. adjust Synchronizes the configuration of the device with your configuration file. You should always examine the output of the dry-run mode before actually executing this command. wait-connect Waits until the device is connected to its peer device. role Shows the current roles of the devices (local/peer). E.g. Primary/Secondary state Deprecated alias for "role", see above. cstate Shows the current connection state of the devices. status Shows the current status of all devices defined in the current config file, in XML-like format. Example output: <drbd-status version="8.3.2" api="88"> <resources config_file="/etc/drbd.conf"> <resource minor="0" name="s0" cs="SyncTarget" st1="Secondary" st2="Secondary" ds1="Inconsistent" ds2="UpToDate" resynced_precent="5.9" /> <resource minor="1" name="s1" cs="WFConnection" st1="Secondary" st2="Unknown" ds1="Inconsistent" ds2="Outdated" /> <resource minor="3" name="dummy" cs="Unconfigured" /> <!-- resource minor="4" name="scratch" not available or not yet created --> </resources> </drbd-status> dump Just parse the configuration file and dump it to stdout. May be used to check the configuration file for syntactic correctness. outdate Used to mark the node's data as outdated. Usually used by the peer's fence-peer handler. verify Starts online verify. During online verify, data on both nodes is compared for equality. See /proc/drbd for online verify progress. If out-of-sync blocks are found, they are not resynchronized automatically. To do that, disconnect and connect the resource when verification has completed. See also the notes on data integrity on the drbd.conf manpage. pause-sync Temporarily suspend an ongoing resynchronization by setting the local pause flag. Resync only progresses if neither the local nor the remote pause flag is set. It might be desirable to postpone DRBD's resynchronization until after any resynchronization of the backing storage's RAID setup. resume-sync Unset the local sync pause flag. new-current-uuid Generates a new currend UUID and rotates all other UUID values. This can be used to shorten the initial resync of a cluster. See the drbdsetup manpage for a more details. dstate Show the current state of the backing storage devices. (local/peer) hidden-commands Shows all commands undocumented on purpose. VERSION
