This was discussed on the list not too long ago.
A simpler (and cheaper) solution than using disk-replication is to use
rsync on a snapshot of the primary master server to copy changed files
over to the secondary master server. You can just rsync without the
snapshot, however the copy that goes to the secondary server will not be
self-consistent.
In summary:
1) make a snapshot using the appropriate OS command (e.g., lvcreate on
Linux, fssnap on Solaris)
2) rsync -a --delete /openv secondary-master:/openv
