drdb

  As many of you sysadmins that deal with Linux High Availability and clusters you will find that there has been a nice little utility to ease the burden on your DRDB management.  The DRDB Management Console doesn’t require any agents or additional code added to your nodes but administers everything over ssh as if you were going to do your work anyways.   The nice thing about this utility is that you can manage everything from a GUI window and it still shows you the act console commands that are being given.  Which can be a learning utility for your junior admin that you have sitting under you that you’d like to start managing the clusters or have an idea how things work and can step in on the pager rotation and hopefully get you out of it for a little bit.
