Hi everybody, we're building our mini-NAS in-house appliance based on RHEL6. It's main purpose is to provide storage to test/devel servers/VMs. After attending LinuxCon in Vancouver it sounds like most places are using NFS as a "quick- fix". What I dislike about NFS idea so far is implementation of NFS4 hinges on kerberos availability (and I'd rather not poke there). We were considering iSCSI as well, but it sounded like it's not "prime-time ready" (?).
Any other alternatives that are available on RH platform out-of-the-box
without having to purchase separate license for clustering platform etc.?
FCoE? Considering it's the test systems we're not too concerned at the moment
about selection, but realistically we'd like to expand that experiment over
into production one day so working with something fairly stable and expandable
from start would be a bonus.
P.S.
Saw that RH purchased Gluster. Does it mean we may get gluster as part of RHEL
subscription?
