Hi,

Using DRBD on Xenserver is fairly simple.
Just download the Driver Development kit from Citrix for XenServer 4.1.
Import the DDK to your server.
Download your DRBD release (source code) of choice (we used version 8.2.5).
Put it inside the DDK, extract, run the magical command "make rpm" and off you go!

The packages will be ready soon. Just SCP them out of your DDK to any Xenserver you want to install them on.
No additional dependencies are needed to be resolved.

BEWARE: Citrix doesn’t support custom modules (and most likely they won’t ever support DRBD).

Kind Regards,

Koen
