similar to: DRBD,GFS2 and GNBD without all clustered cman stuff

Hi. The short story... Rush job, never done clustered file systems before, vlan didn't support multicast. Thus I ended up with drbd working ok between the two servers but cman / gfs2 not working, resulting in what was meant to be a drbd primary/primary cluster being a primary/secondary cluster until the vlan could be fixed with gfs only mounted on the one server. I got the single server

Hi all, I am using heartbeat and drbd on CentOS 5 (see http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=7816&forum=41 for details).. DRBD and heartbeat are working, and now I want to put GNBD on top on this. However, I installed the latest CentOS-plus kernel (2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.centos.plus) but there doesn't appear to be a kmod-gndb for this kernel. Looks like the latest

-----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

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

Hi all, I am trying to configure a failover multipath between 2 GNBD devices. I have a 4 nodes Redhat Cluster Suite (RCS) cluster. 3 of them are used for running services, 1 of them for central storage. In the future I am going to introduce another machine for central storage. The 2 storage machine are going to share/export the same disk. The idea is not to have a single point of failure

Hello all: I'm having a strange problem with GNBD and LVM on two fully updated CentOS 5.5 x86_64 systems. On node1, I have exported a gnbd volume. lvcreate -L 500M -n mirrortest_lv01 mirrorvg gnbd_serv gnbd_export -d /dev/mirrorvg/mirrortest_lv01 -e node1_lv01 On node2 I have imported the volume: gnbd_import -i node1 Next, on node2 I attempt to create a mirrored LV with the

hi all.. Is it recommended to use GNBD in production cluster? . The main purpose of this cluster would be to provide high availablity of Xen virtual machines. I don''t have a fencing device hence I am giving a thought to use GNBD since it can be used in fencing without any fencing hardware. Also, any pointers to the tutorial on using gnbd with RHCS and xen would be great. Thanks Paras.

Anyone have any experience with GNBD? What kind of performance and security differences are there in running GNBD vs NFS? We're planning an implementation with an external storage array (DAS) and want to use a shared filesystem. We have 10 or so clients that will be connecting to the shared filesystem. We have duplicate systems and arrays and were planning on using keepalived for

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

Hello fellows, I have a problem with a 2 node RHCS cluster (CentOS 4) where node 1 failed and node 2 became active. That happened already last year and due to holidays the customer didn't recognize it. The cluster is just a failover for Apache and has no shared storage space. Customer now saw the situation, tried to fix it by rebooting node 1, which then failed to come back up. As

Hello, I followed the steps at http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3487081 for adding a v3.0.21a samba and winbindd server to a MsAD domain and configuring nsswitch.conf to find passwd and group info from winbind. This seems to have worked out fine, except that I can't 'see' or 'recognize' certain groups via getent or via wbinfo -g. E.g. I can see the

Hi, I''m using xen on two-node redhat cluster (CVS devel version), using lvm as storage backend. redhat cluster is used to synchronize LVM metadata (using clvmd) and as storage for domain configs and dom-U kernels (with gfs). Latest version of redhat cluster works with xen-2.0.4, but not with xen-2.0-testing. ccsd failed to start on 2.0-testing. Anyone knows what the problem is? I
