Hi,

Has anyone ever actually implemented a replicating iSCSI SAN using CentOS?  I saw directions here:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Ha-Drbd

It looks doable, but I am not the strongest linux person and would like to hear if anyone has tried and if there any caveats.  Also, I noticed that these directions are for CentOS 5.  Is it pretty much the same for CenOS 6?

Lastly, this might sound crazy, but we are mostly a Hyper-V shop.  Hyper-V supports CentOS 6.0-6.2 and 5.5-5.7.  Could I implement this as a guest in Hyper-V or am I just asking for trouble?

Sincerely,
