TOPIC:

There are several scenarios possible for disk replacement. Two examples are below. You review the documentation - specifically "maintenance operations" and "manual mode" which would allow you to perform maintenance operations with no VM downtime.

If your disks are connected via a RAID controller with hotswap:
- replace the disk with the host running
- create DRBD metadata on the new disk
- via DRBD - invalidate the new disk and overwrite it with the contents of the live disk

If your disks do not support hot swap:
- disable HA
- enter manual mode in iscsi-ha
- make sure the surviving host is primary
- power off - replace disk and then follow steps above
- exit manual mode
- enable HA

If your SDA has failed - you will likely be reinstalling XenServer from scratch.

ok... here i give u working configs for 2nd iscsi (all ather steps as mentioned in the ha-lizard how-to guide):

Hello,

We have working system.
2 servers, HA-iscsi on local HDD sda3.
Additionaly we added two HDDs. One in each server for 2nd iSCSI device.

Configuration is done as per instruction from this post.
In XenCenter we can see second LUN and we can create new SR on new iscsi LUN.
BUT problem is with old SR. It is not accesible any more??
Hot to reatach old SR without loosing data.

br

Please post the following files:
- drbd.conf
- lvm.conf
- targets.conf

We will post a working set of files later this week once we have had a chance to test them on our development environment.

Has a known good working set of reference files ever been posted.
without telling me to look at the setup documents because i have what are the proper commands to initialize DRBD
