Lustre discuss - Jun 2009 - failover mode

How do I handle MDT and OSS failures (not MDS and OST)? Is there any
failover mode for them?

Also, is it necessary to have each OST node to be a RAID device?

Thanks,
Amita.

I started my journey with lustre a week ago, so I am not sure. But OSS
failures can be handled using failover mode. MDT can be (should be)
backed up regularly.
