Dear sir/madam, i want to use gluster with iscsi .please suggest me weather it is possible or not. with regards harish narang
You COULD run gluster on top of an iscsi mounted volume...but why would you want too? If you already have an iscsi SAN why not use gfs2 or something like that? liam On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 10:56 PM, harris narang <harish.narang2010 at gmail.com> wrote:> Dear sir/madam, > i want to use gluster with iscsi .please suggest me weather it is possible > or not. > > with regards > harish narang > > _______________________________________________ > Gluster-users mailing list > Gluster-users at gluster.org > http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users > >
Hi Harish, Gluster Server aggregates local filesystems ( or directories on it ) into a single glusterfs volume. These backend local filesystems can use local disk, FC SAN, iSCSI - does not matter, as long as the host and the backend filesystem work with it. Hope that answers your question.

Hi harish, I am currently using gluster in replicate mode on top of two ISCSI targets. It has been working quite well, and I have had no issues. I see that many people say that there is no need for this, but I do have my reasons. 1. Gluster allows me to use any of my server's drive spaces to replicate to. Most other cluster files systems require block devices 2. My main storage is two QNAP SS-439, that support ISCSI and NFS. Since gluster won't work on NFS V3 I use the ISCSI This is just my solution, but it works fine Pat.

Hi harish, I'm sorry but I have no experience with xensever, but I have seen alot of talk with reference to xenserver on the mailing list. You might want to check the archives.
