Hi,
I'm working on a issue from a while but it seems to me I've got to a dead
end :(

Till now, I've been able to setup and configure several cluster solutions on
RHEL6.2x64 using the RH's Corosync (1.4.1-4) and Pacemaker (1.1.6-3) rpms.
I've started to work on installing a SAN storage, I'd like to use a shared
file system because 8 servers need to store something on it at the same
time.
OCFS2 seems to be not available anymore for my distro. NFS is not suitable.
So I decided to try and use gfs2, even because of the excellent
"Pacemaker-1.1-Clusters_from_Scratch" install and configuration guide.

Here are some troubles.

1. The user guide refers to Fedora13. It suggests to install  gfs2-utils,
cman and gfs2-cluster. In particular, gfs2-cluster is not provided with
RHEL, and the version I've found  (gfs2-cluster-3.1.1-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm)
requires cman >= 3.1.0-1 and  openais >= 1.1.2-1; not even RHEL6.4 has got
such versions. What's the best practice in this case?

2. Pacemaker is provided with RHEL and so I thought it was supported in some
way by the RHEL's team (at least about the compatibility with the other
packages); but it isn't actually, and the support has strongly suggested to
swap to Red Hat Cluster Suite. I've been working a lot on Pacemaker, this is
a choice I really wouldn't take...

3. In the worst case, any suggestion about mounting and managing a shared
SAN storage file system  with a different solution without trashing all my
job till now for switching to RHCS?

I'd appreciate a lot if you shared your experience
Thank you for your time
Guglielmo
