[PVE-User] drbdmanage License change

[Valentin Voigt]

Hi,

I just set up a two-node cluster with Proxmox using DRBD9 for live 
migration.

Does that mean that I should switch technology as long as we're not 
using that cluster for production? It would be pretty sad when DRBD gets 
removed from Proxmox once I get to use it.

I think it's already hard to find solutions for high-availability(ish) 
clusters for those poor souls with with only two physical machines. Any 
hint in a better direction would of course be appreciated!

Thanks!

Valentin
