Hi,

    New to this mailing list.  I'm seeking people advice for GlusterFS HA in the context of KVM Virtual Machines (VM) storage. We have 3 x KVM servers that use a 3 x GlusterFS nodes.  The Volumes are 3 way replicate.

    My question is: You guys, what is your network architecture / setup for GlusterFS HA?  I read many articles on the internet. Many people are talking about bonding to a switch but i don't consider this as a good solution.  I'd like to have Gluster and KVM servers linked to at least 2 switches to have switch / wire and network car redundancy.

    I saw people using 2 x dumb switches with bonding mode 6 on their servers with mii monitoring.  It seems to be about good but it could append that mii is up but frames / packets won't flow. So it this case, i can't imagine how the servers would handle this.

    Another setup is dual dumb switches and running Quagga on the servers (OSPF / ECMP).  This seems to be the best setup, what do you think?  Do you have experience with one of those setups?  What are your thoughts on this?  Ah and lastly, how can i search in the list?


Thanks!


Guy
