Hi, I have 2x (40TB DAS attached to a machine running ESX (64Go RAM)). I plan to use them as an active-active cluster with gluster + ctdb (serving only smb no nfs). The goal is to store homedirs and profiles for all my client machines (~ 150 win7 client). Any advice are welcome ! -Should i use only one VM with gluster + ctdb on each esx , each VM accessing a raw disk of 40TB or -Should i use 4 or 8 VM on each esx with 4x10TB or 8x5TB raw disks (each VM driving a single rawdisk) I there anybody on the list who already achieve that ? Many thanks in advance. -- Laurent BARDI / RSI CNRS-IPBS / CRSSI DR14 INSTITUT de PHARMACOLOGIE et de BIOLOGIE STRUCTURALE Tel : 05-61-17-59-05 http://www.ipbs.fr/ GSM : 06-23-46-06-28 Laurent.BardiATipbs.fr CNRS-IPBS 205 Route de Narbonne 31400 TOULOUSE FRANCE ...
