> Simple, it's only a NAS device, and not really a file server / web > server / data base server as well. Here is something I am currently lokoing at, and wondering if you'd considered it or if anyone here has done it. I've got a bunch of existing hardware - really good IBM stuff that is all installed with CentOS (with a few exceptions). We want to move to virtualization, but

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,

Hi 2 all. I was thinking to start a little web site with phpwiki, to let the * community build a sort of shared documentation 'bout * & related. That because in a wiki "place" all grows faster, and is also the right place to share experiences. For example it's right to have documentation about * installations, ie who has done what with asterisk Till now we don't know

I am working on an audio jukebox and would like to read the length of a song (minutes:seconds) from a perl script. Is there a way to do that? I don't see anything in the docs for flac or metaflac.

Hello, I have the go ahead to fix documentation. For starters I will clean all extraneous crap from the markup. Then fix any errors and typos. If anyone sees any gramatical errors or typos or needed clarifications or expansions or whatever, please post them here. Or additional FAQ entries, etc, all will be considered. I hope to keep most of this conversation on the shorewall-devel list. Any

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

Hi all, I've not been able to find the answer to my timer problem in the faq or the archives. (or google) Basically, I can't get timers to fire. They fire ignoring the timer value, as if the timer was set to 0. I'm using the OpenFiler distribution, patched to the latest and greatest. upsmon 2.2.2 When I pull the power plug, I see the text "Im In Battery" instantly, instead

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
