Description:
"DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device)  is a solution from Linbit supported only on Linux. DRBD creates a virtual block device (which is associated with an underlying physical block device) that can be replicated from the primary server to a secondary server. You create a file system on the virtual block device, and this information is then replicated, at the block level, to the secondary server." <from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-ha-scalability/en/ha-overview.html>

Need an equivalent solution on Solaris which does not require shared storage.

How to repeat:
Try to install MySQL HA on Solaris

Suggested fix:
Workaround: Use "Sun Cluster Data Service for MySQL" and shared storage.

I had also got same request for FreeBSD. Maybe http://www.sun.com/software/products/lustre/ is an answer in case of Solaris...

In any case, it is more an OS level feature request (to implement something like DRBD) than MySQL feature request.
