Thank you very much Sunil. I will give it a try with multiple iSCSI nodes
then and no host mount and check the results :)
Just another question relating to the number of hosts and nodes. According to
the docs it seems like you can only set up 1 cluster. What if you want a node
to be able to connect to two separate iSCSI hosts serving the same or
different OCFS2 block devices. Can that be done? In the config file it only
allows for the one cluster's config and you can only have one config file per
node?
You can have nodes mounting volumes exported by different iscsi hosts,
as long as the volumes exported are different. As in, if two exported
volumes
are the same, then that won't work.
Am I then correct in saying that OCFS2 is more of a multi-node access/usage
file system rather than a distributed cluster file system? As I cannot connect
to more than one OCFS2 block device host at the same time it will always have
a one-to-many relationship. If my host dies then the block device dies. Its
not keeping multiple synchronised copies of the block device distributed over
several hosts which I can set up and let it fail-over if one of the hosts
dies?
OCFS2 is a shared disk clustered file system. It allows multiple nodes
to concurrently access the file system on a shared device.
