Hello,
I have a couple of Dell 2950 III, both of them with CentOS 5.3, Xen,
drbd 8.2 and cluster suite.
Hardware: 32DB RAM, RAID 5 with 6 SAS disks (one hot spare) on a PERC/6
controller.
I configured DRBD to use the main network interfaces (bnx2 driver), with
bonding and crossover cables to have a direct link.
The normal network traffic uses two different network cards.
There are two DRBD resources for a total of a little less than 1TB.
When the two hosts are in sync, if I activate more than a few (six or
seven) xen guests, the master server crashes spectacularly and reboots.
I've seen a kernel dump over the serial console, but the machine
restarts immediately so I didn't write it down.
Unfortunately I cannot experiment because I have production services on
those machines (and they are working fine until I start drbd on the
slave).
drbd configuration is attached.
Anybody has an idea of the problem? The crash is perfectly reproducible,
and drbd seems to be the problem (maybe the Xen kernel helps?).
Thanks in advance,
Andrea
