similar to: Xen, GFS, GNBD and DRBD?

Hi all, Where i want to arrive: 1) having two storage server replicating partition with DRBD 2) exporting via GNBD from the primary server the drbd with GFS2 3) inporting the GNBD on some nodes and mount it with GFS2 Assuming no logical error are done in the last points logic this is the situation: Server 1: LogVol09, DRDB configured as /dev/drbd0 replicated to Server 2. DRBD seems to work

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Up until now, I have been using drbd for file custers with great success. Yes, it is a PITA, and sometimes you can get annoying sincronization issues (mostly on lab situations). Now I have been considering giving gnbd (with cs/gfs) a try. Do any of you ever crossed this path ? Any comparisons or comments ? TIA, - -- Rodrigo Barbosa "Quid

Hi all, I am using heartbeat and drbd on CentOS 5 (see http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=7816&forum=41 for details).. DRBD and heartbeat are working, and now I want to put GNBD on top on this. However, I installed the latest CentOS-plus kernel (2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.centos.plus) but there doesn't appear to be a kmod-gndb for this kernel. Looks like the latest

I''ve been brainstorming... I want to create a 2-node HA active/active cluster (In other words I want to run a handful of DomUs on one node and a handful on another). In the event of a failure I want all DomUs to fail over to the other node and start working immediately. I want absolutely no single-points-of-failure. I want to do it with free software and no special hardware. I want

Hi guys, I'm looking at the possibility of running a pair of servers with Dovecot LDA/imap/pop3 using internal drives with DRBD and GFS (or other clustered FS) for the mail storage and ext3 for the root drive. I'm currently using maildrop for delivery and Dovecot imap/pop3 with the stores over NFS. I'm looking for better performance but still keeping the HA element I have now with

I want to thank everyone who has provided insight into my thread about clustering MySql. I kind of just sat back and watched it develop. I learned a lot from it all. I have been reading all of the documentation on clustering provided by Centos/Red Hat, and find I travel in circles. I read one chapter and answer a self-imposed question but I end up asking myself another. What I really want to

We currently have a MD3000i with an iSCSI LUN shared out to our apache web server. We are going to add another apache web server into the mix using LVS to load balance, however, I am curious how well iSCSI handles file locking and data integrity. I have the iSCSI partition formatted as ext3. Is my setup totally flawed and will ext3 not allow for data integrity with multiple apache hosts

I am considering building a pair of storage servers that will be using CentOS and GFS to share the storage from a Coraid (SATA+Raid) EtherDrive shelf. Has anyone else tried such a setup? Is GFS stable enough to use in a production environment? There is a build of GFS 6.1 at http://rpm.karan.org/el4/csgfs/. Has anyone used this? Is it stable? Will I run into any problems if I use CentOS 3.5

Hello there! I made Debian, Xen 2.0 and CLUSTER/GFS work together :). I wrote this little tutorial to help you setup yours. Any feedback is welcome, except comments about W3C validation of my code :p Note that I am talking about compiling CLUSTER with your XEN kernel, I don''t explain how to setup a working cluster. You can find how to setup those in official RedHat docs. You will see,

How does one configure a fence device in the form of a NIC card in centos 5? Is the gnbd item relevant to this? I have posted the question to linux-cluster also, but they are much less active overall, -so if you have info, massively appreciated... -karl

Hi list, I setup on 2 Xen Dom0s drbd/gfs a logical volume, this works as primary/primary so both DomUs will be able to write on them at the same time. But I dont know how to mount them from my domUs, I can see them with fdisk -l. The partition is /dev/xvdb1 SHould I install gfs on domUs and mount them on each as gfs partitions? [root@p3x0501 ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/xvda: 5368 MB, 5368709120

I have a quad core server in which I want to run 4 virtual servers. On this server I have a 1/2 terabyte raid 1 I have split between the 4 members that have the OS on it. I have raid 5 10 terabyte internal storage running on a 3ware 9690a card. I want to share this storage between the servers without partitioning it. Is this possible? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment

Hi everyone! I have 2 hosts + 1 ISCSI device. I want to create a shared storage repository and both hosts use together. I wont use NFS. prepared sr: xe sr-create host-uuid=xxx content-type=user name-label=NAS1 shared=true type=iscsi device-config:target=xxxx device-config:targetIQN=xxxx hosts see the iscsi device: scsi4 : iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access NAS

Hello everybody, I am in the process of setting up a really cool xen serverfarm. Backend storage will be an LVMed AoE-device on top of DRBD. The goal is to have the backend storage completely redundant. Picture: |RAID| |RAID| |DRBD1| <----> |DRBD2| \ / |VMAC| | AoE | |global LVM VG| / | \ |Dom0a| |Dom0b| |Dom0c| | |

Hi list. I am dealing with DRBD (+GFS as its DLM). GFS configuration needs a CLVMD configuration. So, after syncronized my (two) /dev/drbd0 block devices, I start the clvmd service and try to create a clustered logical volume. I get this: On "alice": [root at alice ~]# pvcreate /dev/drbd0 Physical volume "/dev/drbd0" successfully created [root at alice ~]# vgcreate

Dear All, I am newbie to Linux Clustering, i have 2 standalone CentOS servers, i want to setup a cluster on those servers, to synchronize between each other, and to make a one as standby to the other, if a one fails the other will switchover. I will mostly use Apache, Mysql, and PHP. I have read the "Cluster Administration" document, i found that there are multiple methods to setup

Hello all, At our office a have a server running 3 Xen domains. Mail server, etc. I want to make this setup more redundant. There are a few howtos on the combination of Xen, DRBD, and heartbeat. That is probably the best way. Another option I am looking at is a piece of shared storage, a machine running CentOS with a large software RAID 5 array. What is the best means of sharing the storage?

Hello all, I am looking to build a larger array (6TB) using CentOS 4.4 to archive data to. We want to have the Windows server mount this array as a local drive so we were looking at iSCSI to do it. I have played with it in the past and gotten it to work in this combo, but I have a question about access to the data on the local (Centos) machine. If I understand correctly, when I mount the

I've googled for this, but everything I find tends to talk about cluster and doesn't give an example close enough that I can figure this out. I have read the Red Hat Cluster Suite Configuring and Managing a Cluster <http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/browse/rh-cs-en/> links from http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/. (I think these are mirred on centos.org, but I
