[Samba] Samba Cluster

2012-09-18 Thread Rajeev R. Veedu

 
We had tried to do this however we can see the shard storage from red hat 
cluster but configuring piranha is bit difficult. Could someone please guide me 
where to look for the documents?

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

das someone find a solution for the snapshot Problem with clvm to use
the Shadow_copy Module in Samba with the following design

- RAID - Controller  DRBD  LVM (CLVM)  OCFS2

If someone has an alternate Design for the Cluster, but it must be pcifs
with resizing and snapshotting ...

Thank You !

Michael

[Samba] Samba Cluster integration with W2K8R2 ADS permission problems

2012-01-04 Thread Philipp Rusch - New Vision IT
We have a setup with three nodes - SLES 11 SP1 + HAE addon.
CTDB is managing SAMBA and winbind, I can see the shares on my shared
storage from my windows machines.
My problem is: CTDB-RA is inserting idmap backend = tdb2, this seems to
be needed for a clustered setup.
But how do I integrate with an ADS, then ?
I want to manage my users and groups from the Windows ADS controllers
and have SLES map them to the shares.
I don't want to create users on the linux side. Kerberos seems to work,
LDAP has problems.
I did not get a single userid to write to any share I defined. I can
only read from there, no modification is allowed.

We want to build a clustered fileserver for CIFS shares, therefore we
need a reliable way to integrate with an ADS.
Any hints highly appreciated.

[Samba] Samba Cluster Setup with CTDB problems

2012-01-04 Thread Philipp Rusch - New Vision IT
We have a setup with three nodes - SLES 11 SP1 + HAE addon.
This is running fine, wich means: OpenAIS ist starting, we have access
to a shared volume with OCFS2 filesystem,
have SBD running, quorum is working as expected. CTDB is managing SAMBA
and winbind.
OK - this runs as long as we do not try to restart CTDB. We always have
to restart the whole thing on all 3 nodes.
Then CTDB dies with an unknown error.

Re: [Samba] Samba Cluster mit High Performance

2011-08-23 Thread Daniel Müller
Hello again,

If you plan a PDC-BDC ctdb will not work.
I have a PDC-BDC failover cluster running with glusterfs, openldap, ucarp.
In theory, going the new way of samba with samba franky (samba4/samba3
merged ads) ctdb should work even in an replicating environment.


Greetings
Daniel

Hallo SambaML,

in the next weeks I want to setup a high perormance Cluster(2-Nodes)
with Samba on Linux. Now I have to decide which Clusterfilesystem is the
best one for this project, gfs2, ocfs, glusterfs.

If someone has experience with this, pleas give me an answer.

At the second: is it the best way to setup a active-active Cluster with
ctdb ?

 You might seriously look at GPFS. It has really extensive
 data management capabilities, and te ctdb development is
 mainly done on GPFS these days.
 

You can go the hardware route too. Compellent, for instance, has aging 
policies which do what you want. Samba doesn't even need to be aware of data 
ageing with such hardware.

[Samba] samba cluster on multi tiered storage / hierarchial storage management

2008-01-30 Thread Olivier Sessink
Hi all,

we're looking at future storage technologies and possibilities to use
open source software. One thing that looks very promising already is
samba clustering with ctdb.

However, if we replace all file servers with a single samba cluster,
that cluster needs a lot of storage space. A large SAN would do, but
using fast disks for all of the storage is quite expensive. Using a mix
of cheap (slow) storage and fast (expensive) storage would satisfy the
needs much better.

Some of the data is used frequently, and some of the data is not used
frequently. A policy driven hierarchial storage management solution for
the samba ctdb cluster would be great. Keeping often-used blocks on a
SAN with fast storage, and using cheaper storage for data that hasn't
been used recently.

What are good solutions in combination with samba, or should we look at
something completely different ?

regards,
Olivier

[Samba] SAMBA Cluster or .......

2007-03-09 Thread Marcin Giedz

Hello,

My question is quite related to this topic. Currently I work for one of 
brokerages and prepare to set up domain for all employees. However I 
must be sure that if my PDC fails my BDC will provide all connections to 
roaming profiles and extra shares (to be mounted during the log in 
process). But additionally I want to have only ONE storage place for 
placing every shares and profiles. Lucky, I found one EMC disk array 
to be used in this solution. My idea is connect 2 server (PDC and BDC) 
over FCs to ONE storage. I don't have any extra software like cluster 
solution.


Now I have almost everything UP and running but found this thread 
about data consistency where different Samba instances may cause data 
corruption.



Please NEVER export the same file space via different Samba
nodes, this leads to data corruption because the locks
propagated have the wrong semantics

Now I'm wondering if I can really do this? According to what Volker said 
my solution/idea is (in a word) - BROKEN :(
Does this me that I must use some extra software between EMC storage and 
Samba instances to prevent data lost? In my situation there is a  chance 
that PDC and BDC will server THE SAME file for different users.


So looking at this topic I'd come to think that I CAN'T go production 
with such prepared PDC + BDC + EMC storage - am I right? If yes would 
anyone propose any solution for such idea?


Regards,
Marcin

 Kernel oplocks support allows Samba oplocks to be broken

smbd(8)

between
  SMB/CIFS, NFS and local file access (and is  a  very  cool 
feature

I read that as meaning you get complete data consistency between SMB,
NFS and local file access :-)

Ahh. I just found the posting you refer to. You're saying the above only
works if the Samba server is also the NFS server? Not an NFS client?

I'm really surprised at that



This means that yes, we get data consistency when Samba and
other Unix processes access the same file space.

In this sense Samba does not count as a normal Unix process
because it has to fulfil other locking requirements on
behalf of its clients. It is these locking requirements that
go beyond what Posix can provide that lead to data
corruption when multiple Windows clients access the same
file space via different Samba instances.

You have to be careful to do this. It's safe to do for
a failover solution (no 2 Samba servers active at the
same time), it's also safe for read-only shares.

If you have active processes writing data simultaneously
to the same file then they should be pointing at the
same Samba server.

Jeremy.
