Create a Vserver
Note that we already have mounted the LVM partition on /VSERVERS/web in an earlier step, we're going to place both the /var and /etc directories on the mountpoint and symlink to it, this way the complete Vserver and its config are available on the other node when mounted.
mkdir -p /VSERVERS/web/etc
mkdir -p /VSERVERS/web/barrier/var
When making the Vserver it will be in the default location /var/lib/vservers/web and its config in /etc/vservers/web.
newvserver --hostname web --domain example.com --ip 123.123.123.125/24 --dist etch --mirror http://123.123.123.81:3142/debian.apt-get.eu/debian --interface eth0

On node1 we move the Vserver directories to the LVM volume on the DRBD disks and make symlinks from the normal locations. On node1:
mv /etc/vservers/web/* /VSERVERS/web/etc/
rmdir /etc/vservers/web/
ln -s /VSERVERS/web/etc /etc/vservers/web
mv /var/lib/vservers/web/* /VSERVERS/web/barrier/var
rmdir /var/lib/vservers/web/
ln -s /VSERVERS/web/barrier/var /var/lib/vservers/web
We need to set the same symlinks on node2, but the we need the Vserver directories available there first. The mounting should be handled by heartbeat by now so we make our resources move to the other machine. On node1:
/etc/init.d/heartbeat stop
On node2:
ln -s /VSERVERS/web/etc /etc/vservers/web
ln -s /VSERVERS/web/barrier/var /var/lib/vservers/web
On node1:
/etc/init.d/heartbeat start
Vserver web start
and enjoy!
