Hello all I have a Sol 10 u3 installation running sc 3.2 just fine. The two node cluster provides ZFS/NFS HA using shared discs. But... Each node has two SATA discs (150 GB each one), and i want use them. I want to make a zfs mirror on the primary node, using the two SATA discs, and so i will have:
1) In the case of one disc of the mirror fails, i'm safe.. the other one keeps the pool running. 2) If the both discs fail (or i need to do a maintenance on the primary node), the sc switch the resources to the node2. For this, i need to have a *real time* replication of the four discs (node1 [2 discs] ----> node2 [2 discs]). So, in the case of a failover, the clients would not notice... just like it was a shared disc. I think AVS is the answer (http://blogs.sun.com/AVS - A Reason to deploy Availability Suite), and now it's open sourced.. the questions are: Can i try to compile/use AVS on my environment (sol 10 u3), or it will not work? With a performance cost, can i accomplish that without AVS (using zfs send/receive, export/import, rsync, or whatever) with consistency? There is a howto or paper describing that kind of solution (ZFS HA without shared discs)? Thanks very much for your time. ps.: I think for use that SATA discs, i can *try* AVS on sol 10 if i can (that discs will be used for *development* machines). But use *opensolaris* on that cluster would be worst (there are *production* discs (shared) working as well.
