HA Cluster based on promise VTrack Mxxx
Hello, I am trying to figure out which hardware to build my HA cluster with. I have seen various promise systems which seems quite interesting (VTrack M210p) but FreeBSD is not mentionned as an official suported OS on their brochure. Has anyone build such cluster with this kind of attachement. The cluster I was thinking about will be built with : - 2 nodes Pentium Xeon with SCSI card - 1 VTrack External Storage M210p (this one has automatic failure detection included on It's hardware). - Linux-HA as a control solution Has anyone built such cluster with these hardware ? If not what have you been using ? Sincerly yours. «?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§ Gregober --- PGP ID -- 0x1BA3C2FD bsd @at@ todoo.biz «?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§ P Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If not what have you been using ? Sincerly yours. I wish you had asked two or three weeks ago as I setup a couple of VTrak M500f arrays, but they were attached to Windows servers. If we get any more in, I could probably do a quick test with FreeBSD. The M500f supports fibre channel, SCSI and iSCSI so I would assume that if you have an appropriate driver for one of those protocols, then it should work for you. Array configuration can be done very simply either through the network management port, serial port or HTTP interface. The HTTP interface is very nice and doesn't depend on Java or Internet Explorer, but it does require Javascript support on the client end to work properly. I'd definitely recommend this controller if you have the cash to spare. I know you mentioned external arrays, but a lot of people are reporting success with the Promise SATA and LSI MegaRAID controllers. Someone asked a similar question on the freebsd-hardware a few weeks ago, but I didn't see any replies. -Damian [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org/msg01521.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
