Hello I read about the technology and i found all amazing and great challenger, i like to test and install soon---, for this reason i have some question about this. GFS / CS I see the gfs and cs download into http://bender.it.swin.edu.au/centos-3/ and http://mirrors.csol.org/CentOS/3/csgfs/i386/RPMS/ What are the diference in both packages? Anyone has using this technologies? and example of

Hi all, I was informed[1] that gfs & rhcs packages are in the works but that there are some problems with the code. What are these problems? Can we do anything to help test / solve them?

Now that the csgfs repo has been updated to support the new kernel, I'm looking at doing updates again. I just want to do it without breaking things (if possible). I can handle doing a bit of trial and error, but I figure that if you guys can point out any obvious pitfalls, that can save me quite a bit of time. I'm looking at doing the following install/update:

I did a yum install of modules from the CentOS-csgfs repository (GFS-kernel, cman-kernel, etc). Modprobe does not find the modules. Upon investigation, I found that modprobe is looking in: /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp/ while the package files were installed to: /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.1.EL/ Can I tell modprobe to use those modules somehow? Are modules for the smp kernel available? Or do I

My apologies if this is a stupid question, but I'm not familiar with how kernel updates and kernel modules interact. I see that there are some kernel updates available via yum: ============================================================================ = Package Arch Version Repository Size

-----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, We're looking at deploying a small Xen cluster to run some of our smaller applications. I'm curious to get the lists opinions and advice on what's needed. The plan at the moment is to have two or three servers running as the Xen dom0 hosts and two servers running as storage servers. As we're trying to do this on a small scale, there is no means to hook 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

Anybody here know when there is going to be an update for the cluster packages for the 2.6.9-55.0.2 kernel that was released in June? The packages available from the repo are compiled against 2.6.8-55. I want to update my GFS cluster to CentOS 4.5, but I don't want to do such a major upgrade and leave out the kernel packages. -- Bowie

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,

Hi, I have an XCP 0.5 box running a few DomUs some of the DomU''s data is stored at (clustered lvm volumes on) a Coraid etherdrive box which is connected via an Ethernet cable to a dedicated card of the XCP box, for which in the network config I'' ve specified: MTU=9344: xe network-param-list uuid=.... gives: MTU ( RW): 9344 on the DomUs if I leave the MTU at 1500 (default

Hi, I am using this document along with the following links to try and assemble a GFS set of mahcines: 1. Log on as the root user. 2. Run up2date --installall --channel Label for Red Hat Cluster Suite. The following example shows running the command for i386 RPMs: # up2date --installall --channel rhel-i386-as-4-cluster 3.

Nick, What are you planning on running over the shared connection? Database, eMail, File Shares? How many users? How much data? What is your I/O profile? I've worked with 'enterprise' storage most of my career either as a consumer, adviser or provider - can't comment on AoE other than to suggest you look at what are the business & technical goals, how they solve it and what

hi all, Someboby knows when gfs and gbd will be released for 2.6.9-22.0.2 kernel?? Thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

I can't find the kernel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL.src.rpm and kernel-2.6.9-78.0.1.plus.c4.src.rpm on the download sites - the binary i386/x86_64 RPMS are there, but not the matching SRPMs Does anyone know where they are? Thanks James Pearson

This is an x86_64 system that I just updated from 4.2 to 4.3 (including the csgfs stuff). When I watch the bootup on the console, I see an error: lvm.static: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/liblvm2clusterlock.so: undefined symbol: lvm_snprintf This error comes immediately after the "Activating VGs" line, so it appears to be triggered by the vgchange command in the clvmd startup

Thanks to John Newbigin the new GFS packages for the 2.4.21-57.EL kernel are now available. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0259.html i386: csgfs/i386/RPMS/GFS-6.0.2.36-8.i386.rpm csgfs/i386/RPMS/GFS-devel-6.0.2.36-8.i386.rpm csgfs/i386/RPMS/GFS-modules-6.0.2.36-8.i386.rpm csgfs/i386/RPMS/GFS-6.0.2.36-8.i686.rpm csgfs/i386/RPMS/GFS-devel-6.0.2.36-8.i686.rpm

Hi everybody, as discussed and agreed at the Cluster Summit we need to split our tree to make life easier in the long run (etc. etc.). We need to decide how we want to do it and there are different approaches to that. I was able to think of 3. There might be more and I might not have taken everything into consideration so comments and ideas are welcome. At this point we haven't really
