Ok, looks like cluster file system is the best solution. But where do I get GFS or OCFS ? we use SLES here. I can download OCFS2 source and build myself (have downloaded it now), but that does not include Novell support :( or whoever buys it ? So only option is to buy the now optional and priced HA-Cluster package I guess ??

Set up two servers, configure the disk as MW to both of them, and use OCFS or GFS to manage the shared write disk between the two servers. Once you have that part working, install the openfiler RPM and configure openfiler clusters. That'll give you both NFS and iSCSI access to the shared disk via a virtual IP address that either server can assume at need, automatic failover, and some (not very sophisticated) load balancing capability. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
