CentOS virt - May 2015 - xl stack problems on CentOS6 XEN4

Hi George,

I already outlined the drbd-stuff on xen-users (see attachement). Yes - elrepo
is right on mark.

Excerpt:
"The script (/etc/xen/scripts/block-drbd) I am using is from
drbd84-utils-8.9.2-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 - and already seems to contain the
"drbd or phy" case;
both in the add and the remove branch.

CentOS6 XEN4 is based on the Kernel 3.10.68-11.el6.centos.alt.x86_64 which has
drbd 8.4.3 built in."

Excurse: As for SLES 11 there are two possibilities:
a) official: Buy the HAE license (quite expensive). There is a drbd-stack built
into it (based on drbd 8.4)
b) inofficial: Compile your own drbd-srpm. That will contain the needed
block-drbd as well, as part of the drbd-xen rpm.

Back to my problem:

Your patch does not fit my sources:
http://vault.centos.org/6.6/xen4/Source/SPackages/
I am currently on XEN 4.4.2-2 - your patch is for 4.5?

Can you please backport your patch to 4.4.2-2?


Kind regards

Nils

[Switching to CentOS-virt, as I think that's probably actually a more
appropriate venue]

I've never used drbd myself, but poking around a little bit, it seems
that the SLES has drbd pacakages, one of which includes block scripts
for Xen (drbd-xen).

Looking at CentOS 6, I don't immediately see any drbd packages.  Are you
using the packages from elrepo, perhaps?

In particular, do you have the Xen block scripts in
/etc/xen/scripts/block-drbd?
