I have a 4 node cluster non dell 2850s running SLES10 sp1 connected to EMC storage. I have a shared ocfs2 volume to store my xen VM configs and image files. When I built the cluster i used kernal mode heartbeat for the OCFS2, I got everything to run except that one node refused to mount my ocfs2 volume at boot from fstab. I works fine after the boot finished if I type mount -a. Novell support suggested i move to usermode heartbeat and create cluster resources to start my ocfs2 volumes. That was a disaster, my volume wouldn't stay mounted on some hosts, sometimes I tried tried to get a host to start the resource after it failed it would try to dismount the ocfs2 device on all hosts, if one host started a VM it would hang trying to remote the device. I gave up and went back to kernel mode.
So to make a long question short anyone have any suggestions on getting the ocfs2 volume to mount at boot time? -- Rob Aronson Storage, Virtualization and Orchestration Practice Manager, Novacoast USA _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
