DRBD Management Console is a Java application that aims to ease the process of managing cluster systems that are based on DRBD and Heartbeat.
Administrators
This program is intended for administrators who understand the concepts and details of DRBD and Heartbeat. But in many smaller shops they have lots of other tasks than DRBD and Heartbeat administration.
Every time there is something to do with the DRBD/Heartbeat setup administrators find it hard to remember the right commands, since they use them so seldom.
Working principle
The DRBD management console does not require any kind of agent or client code on the cluster nodes. It uses ssh access, as you do when you work with your servers.
