Hello, I need to setup a 4 nodes cluster for hosting a few database instances.
The main constraint being that this cluster has to be equally distributed on 2 different sites (distance less than 100 km), ie 2 nodes on each site. The storage being based on 2 FC disk arrays, one on each site, connected thru 2 SAN fabrics for redundancy and failover. Each database instance runs on one node, a should be able to switch to another in case of machine crash. I would like to use CLVM with mirror (or mdadm) to give access each node to both disk arrays (local and distant). In case something happens on one site(disaster) , the nodes on the other site should be able to take over the failing nodes by hosting the databases instances that failed. My questions concern : - Quorum: In case of a disaster, the remaining nodes won't have the majority (2 over 4) - If I use qdisk, on wich site to put it ? the disaster could occur on any site - CLVM with mirror (or mdadm layer to built on top of it CLVM) is a "supported " setup ?
