[Lustre-discuss] Large Corosync/Pacemaker clusters

2012-10-24 Thread Hall, Shawn
Hi, We're setting up fairly large Lustre 2.1.2 filesystems, each with 18 nodes and 159 resources all in one Corosync/Pacemaker cluster as suggested by our vendor. We're getting mixed messages on how large of a Corosync/Pacemaker cluster will work well between our vendor an others. 1.
