Hello Digimer,

Thanks for sharing this.  I might try it in a couple of months as I'm
not ready yet (need to grasp some concepts/technologies first).  I also
haven't used KVM but I have some experience with VMware (vSphere Clusters).

For vSphere clusters you need a shared storage system:  ideally (in
preference order) you'll be using a  FC SAN, iSCSI SAN or a NAS (serving
NFS).  I'm interested in the DRBD part here.  Did you use it because you
didn't have access to a shared storage system? or is it a requirement
for a particular functionality you wanted?  Have you done it before with
a shared system? Any considerable performance difference (DRBD vs
shared-storage)?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Jorge
