Currently we have 2 fileservers for user home and each server is connected
with a deck of disks. We are thinking of the possibility of enhancing
high reliability and availabilty of the AFS service. For disk, we can
consider RAID to improve the its reliability and availability. For the
servers, we wonder if there is any ways for us to implement the high
availability solution. Imagine that we can merge the disks of the 2
fileservers to a RAID and 2 hosts can be the backup of each other. With
NFS, there is hardware and software solution for failsafe servers. We
wonder if there is any way that we can implement it with AFS. Specifically,
if 1 server is down with hardware problem, is there any way that we can
specify the second server to be the primary server and the AFS is provided
without or with minimal interruption?
Thanks in advance.
