# drbd-9.0(8)

The start and stop script for DRBD

## NAME

drbd - The start and stop script for DRBD

## SYNOPSIS

**/etc/init.d/drbd** {start \| stop \| status \| reload \| restart \| force-reload}

## INTRODUCTION

The **/etc/init.d/drbd** script is used to start and stop drbd on a system V style init system.

When using a cluster resource manger such as Pacemaker, DRBD should usually *not* be started by the init system, but should typically be exclusively controlled by the cluster manager. You should not use, and disable, the init script in this case. **chmod -x /etc/init.d/drbd** has proven most effective for this.

In order to use **/etc/init.d/drbd**, define a drbd configuration. See [**drbd.conf**(5)](/drbd.conf/5.md) for details.

## VERSION

This document was revised for version 9.0.0 of the DRBD distribution.
