similar to: openfiler (was: using CentOS as an iSCSI server?)

I need to replace a slow HP MSA20 that's a bottleneck right now (We are an HP shop). HP's only option with 3.5" SATA drives is stuck at SATA I behind a SAS controller. Dell makes an MD1000 that claims SATA II speeds behind a SAS Perc 5/E (Don't know anything about dell). Anyone got any real world info they can share? I need 3.5" SATA II at least 12 drives behind SAS, I am

Has anybody tried or knows if it is possible to create a MD RAID1 device using networked iSCSI devices like those created using OpenFiler? The idea I'm thinking of here is to use two OpenFiler servers with physical drives in RAID 1, to create iSCSI virtual devices and run CentOS guest VMs off the MD RAID 1 device. Since theoretically, this setup would survive both a single physical drive

Hey folks, I don't seem to be able to get a response from the openfiler forums (and they want 40 quid for the fine manual!), and since there has been a lot of chat about it here lately, I figured I'd ask here. Please forgive my terminology as I am just making my first baby steps into iSCSI and Fiber Channel, and am not very well read on the matters. So I could be using the wrong terms

Greetings list friends, Just wondering if anyone is using openfiler with Xen or XCP? If so how has the experience been? Any particular points to keep in mind? thanks, CJP _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Greetings, I have a 500Gig hdd with and XFS filesystem created by openfiler (which strangely switched from lovely CentOS for reasons best known to them). I fired up a Centos box with this hdd. I then did yum install kmod-xfs.i686 xfsdump.i386 dmapi xfsprogs and it wnt through. But when I try to mount this volume mount -t xfs /dev/hdd1 /mnt/test I get the error: mount: /dev/hdd1 already

Hi, I am doing a test setup of 11G RAC, and I am using Jeff Hunter's document to achieve this. I have 3 nodes all running Linux Redhat 4 htsscsun06-openfiler htssclin5 htssclin4 I have created the Logical Volumes on htsscsun06-openfiler - fdisk -l shows fdisk -l Disk /dev/hdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of

Two questions (and then a bonus one), kind of interrelated, but, first, some basic info. I'm using OCFS2 on OpenSUSE 10.2, kernel 2.6.18.8(-0.7). There are three nodes in the OCFS2 cluster, backed by Openfiler iSCSI storage. First, I'm using Openfiler and iSCSI volumes to back my OCFS2 file system. The nodes that are part of the OCFS2 cluster use the file system as a shared storage

Hello everyone, I''m quite a newbie with Xen and I''m currently having an issue. I run Xen 4 on Debian Squeeze x64 and I''m trying to build an OpenFiler DomU from the Xen domU filesystem tarbal they provide (See http://www.openfiler.com/community/download/). I downloaded the tarball and run ''tar xzpvf /root/soft/openfiler-2.3-x86_64.tar.gz'' to extract

I need to set up a NAS. Got a box with a 200Gb drive ready to go. I have installed Openfiler 2.0 on it but..... I really can't add other services, like FreeRadius (keep the list simple for now). So maybe I should just stay with what I know and use Centos. Other experiences? Are there good DIY NAS instructions for Centos 5?

Has anyone succesfully setup, and used CentOS as an iSCSI server? I'm trying to setup a server with 4x500GB HDD's, setup in RAID 10 to act as an iSCSI server for a virtualization project, but I can't find a decent howto on how to setup an iSCSI server using CentOS. I would like to setup something like Openfiler, but we also need todo some other stuff that OpenFiler doesn't

Hi Has anyone got any ideas on a nfs/nas appliance that i can install on x86 hardware with a few JBOD shelves attached to it. I would like an appliance like install and based on CentOS would be great. I really like the look of www.openfiler.com but it seems to be only in RC release stage so i don't think the 'boss' would like that idea. thanks

Hello everyone! Working on putting a storage server together and wanted to get some input as to what motherboards have been working for people with the 3ware 9650SE-12ML raid board. This is large, bulk storage, 2-tier stuff. This will not be used for realtime editing of video or something, but a gig nic is almost a given I hope. I have an AMD chip available (AM2 slot) but I can get a new chip

Hi! I'm using nut to control a ups powerware 9135. All are working, but, in the shutdown, the ups don't poweroff. I did check with upsc, and I can't see a ups.delay.shutdown variable to set the time of automatic poweroff, when I did complete the shutdown of machines. Before, I did use a propietary program to work with this ups, and the daemon did poweroff the ups without problems. But,

Hey folks, We've got some new hardware and are trying to figure out what best to do with it. Either run CentOS right on the bare metal, or virtualize, or several combination options. Mainly looking at : - CentOS on bare metal - CentOS on ESXi 4.0 with local disk - CentOS on ESXi with 1 VM running Openfiler to serve disk to other VMs And want to benchmark these 3 scenarios So far all we

Hello, We are going to buy some NFS storage for 6-8 VMs on a single host, but want to expand to a second host. What storage recommendations would you give if you have between 2000 and 5000 USD? How about nexenta? what hardware would you use? any vendor? Experiences with openfiler and opennas? Thanks for the responses. Daniel -- +-=====---------------------------+ |

Hi all, I need to install a virtual machine acting as a virtual storage server under CentOS 5.x (using kvm, xen, virtualbox or vmware). This virtual storage machine needs to server storage to another ESXi server and at the same time to the host where is installed. This is due to the limitations of hardware I have available. Both hosts needs to server several machines. It is very

I'm looking to find a Linux NAS solution for a Windows network. Looking into FreeNAS and OpenFiler. Anyone using these or any other solution? Any comments/suggestions? Thanks, Ed
