You can check the status of the failover components in the Failover – Current status
of failover components page and ensure that DRDB (Distributed Redundant Block
Device) is synchronizing the hard disks of the two servers.
Tip:
When the system finishes the disk synchronization process, you can increase or
decrease the speed of the sync with a slider bar provided on the console. The
default value of this rate is 30 MB. If you set the value too high, it may affect the
performance of the virtual machines running on the active server.
