Gluster users - Dec 2013 - KeepAlived NFS HA

Hi,

I'm really new to Gluster. And I'm trying to achieve NFS failover with :

- Ubuntu 12.04
- Gluster 3.4.1
- KeepAlived

My setup :

[node gfs1] <> KeepAlived VIP <> [node gfs2]

My clients mounts the Gluster share with NFS over the VIP.

The setup is (or seems to be) running fine in a test setup.

Would you advise to use this configuration in production ? Anything I
forgot ?

Thanks and regards

Charles

Hi Charles,

It looks good to me. I use a similar setup in production and it works 
okay-ish. I have made some more modifications though:
- I use another nic for exporting NFS
- I use VIPs on both servers and on the clients I use a RR A record for 
the mount so I have some simple form of load balancing
