This function uses to share necessary data for services between cluster nodes which are connected by networks.

Mirroring enables a standby server to have the same data as an active server, by replicating data which is accessible from only local point to the standby server through network.

The replication software DRBD9 helps with such mirroring function, and an agent indicates  the thing that manages the software. The agent manages and registers mirroring configuration for 1:1 replication.

The agent also manages volume to replicate by receiving event in real time from the replication software DRBD9.

  1. When add a resource from a group name, select a group → right click → 'Add Resource'. Or select "Edit(E)" from the main menu bar select "Add Resource". Or select "Add Resource" icon from the tool bar.
  2. Select 'MirrorDisk' from Resource Type lists and click 'Next' button. When add a resource from the MirrorDisk resource type name, this step will be skipped.

  3. Select the source server and mirror volume

  4. Chooses a volume of the meta disk.

    The volume of the meta disk needs another seperate volume available to attach a drive letter. The followings need to be prepared for making such volume:

    1. Drive letter
      For example, M

    2. Directory mount
      For example, C:\vdrive
    3. Volume's name in GUID format
      For example, \\?\Volume{ed8a8f02-18b3-11e6-91b4-000c29ac57f8}\
    4. VHD (Virtual Hard Disk)
      For example
        1. m c:\r0_meta.vhd # VHD + format of drive letter
        2. C:\vdrive c:\r0_meta.vhd # VHD + mounting format of a directory
        3. \\?\Volume{ed8a8f02-18b3-11e6-91b4-000c29ac57f8}\  c:\r0_meta.vhd # VHD + GUID method


    Note
    title외부 메타 데이터 볼륨

    A meta volume should be created with RAW status that the volume was not formatted, when creating a separate volume. WDRBD accesses to a meta volume as a sector unit basically, therefore, some part of a sector may not accessible because those are protected because of result from request for an authority to write against a boot record area if the volume has been formatted through the particular file system such as NTFS type. Moreover, it would not be able to use as a meta disk for WDRBD because a meta area of the file system such as MFT is made. So it is recommended choosing the option for what the volume is not formatted when creating the initial volume.
