Hello,
i want to setup a VM which has another VM as failover.
We use images where we store the VM in.
Most people use drbd and heartbeat for this, is this the best solution
fors this?

When I use XEN images, how do I have to define the image in drbd?

 on ares.bluethings.net {
    device     /dev/drbd0;
    disk       /dev/sda5;
    address    172.16.6.2:7788;
    flexible-meta-disk  internal;
  }

The VM images dont exist yet, so I can do a fresh start and pick the
best method for setting this up.

Please share your guides on this.

thx
