Hello My company is changing server software to CentOS on Dell equipment. At the same time we are expanding our RAID system from standard SCSI to either SATA, or the technology brought forward by Coraid using the AoE protocol. Before we take the final decision I am looking for some real experience with Coraid products on a scale of 30+ disks. We will be using a cluster of four servers with a mix

I understand that all work is going into xen3, but I had wanted to note that aoe (drivers/block/aoe) is giving me trouble on xen 2.0.6 (so we can keep and eye on xen3). Specifically I can''t see nor export AOE devices. As a quick background on AOE, it is not IP (not routable, etc), but works with broadcasts and packets to MAC addresses (see http://www.coraid.com). (for anyone who

hello ! i try to use a network technology on one single host, which wasn`t designed for that. to give a short overview of what i`m talking about: AoE is just like a "networked blockdevice" (just like nbd/enbd) - but without tcp/ip. AoE kernel driver is the "client end" (see this like an iSCSI initiator) - and an etherblade storage appliance is the "server end"

hi to the list, Hello everyone, I am new in the world of pxe booting and i try to use AOE to boot my linux debian lenny machines. I install the linux like this: parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mklabel gpt parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mklabel gpt parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mkpart primary ext3 17408B 314590207B parted -s /dev/etherd/e10.1 mkpart primary ext3 314590208B 3535815679B parted -s

On Coraids (Inventor of AoE) website, they claim the?r drivers will also work on Solaris. So my question is: Will there be any technical limitations regarding implementation of ZFS and AoE ? If not yet possible, the developers of OpenSolaris might consider this option as a natural step I guess. What do You people think ? With cheap disk attachments over an ethernet, and with ZFS, I think

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

Hai,   I was just reading : https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/ata-over-ethernet-aoe-on-debian-8-jessie/   I was wondering, anyone tried AoE for sysvol, so i dont needs replication anymore. Anyone Pro’s and Con’s ?    Or can anyone tell of sysvol is going to be replicated by samba so we dont need scripts anymore.     Greetz,   Louis

Anyone tried to use ocfs2 on a coraid? So far I've found that I had to crank the heartbeat threshold up. Anything else I should know about? I'm running the ocfs2 version that comes with kernel 2.6.16.7 (is there something more recent I should use?) and ocfs2-tools and ocfs2console both v1.1.5 backported to debian stable. Oh, and a coraid SR1520 with ~6T of space in a single

Greetings, Xen developers! I have been using AoE with Xen to great effect and I am very pleased with how the whole system has worked out. The two technologies really complement each other. I consider it the ultimate setup. Aside from the network switch (eventually to be remedied) my serving infrastructure has zero single points of failure. However, this virtualization paradise has a flaw:

Hello, I have encountered a crash in dom0 kernel while booting a domU from an AOE device. I haven''t seen such crashes when booting from local partitions/ LVM volumes/ loopback file systems. Also I haven''t seen such crash when I did repetitive I/O to these AOE devices. As the call trace of crash indicates the crash is in xenolinux kernel. Also this crash is predictably

Dear developer, I am working on a project for my graduate work (diploma), which includes iSCSI and AOE booting. I made some menus using pxelinux and things are working fine with linux, but I have a small problem with windows system which require direct iscsi or aoe access. I have dhcpd.conf setup that it to each first dhcp request handles out pxelinux.0, then I can chooose from that menu which OS

Hello everybody, I am in the process of setting up a really cool xen serverfarm. Backend storage will be an LVMed AoE-device on top of DRBD. The goal is to have the backend storage completely redundant. Picture: |RAID| |RAID| |DRBD1| <----> |DRBD2| \ / |VMAC| | AoE | |global LVM VG| / | \ |Dom0a| |Dom0b| |Dom0c| | |

I''m currently trying to build modules against the kernels created with Xen 3.0.5rc4. This used to not be such a problem, as Xen created a kernel directory and the built in it. Plain Jane, nothing fancy. I''ve noticed that somewhere since I did this (which was as recent as 3.0.4-1) the kernel build now does things a bit different. Apparently there is some sort of

Hi All, I posted this in a different threat, but it was recommended that I post in this one. Basically, I have a 3 drive raidz array on internal Seagate drives. running build 64nv. I purchased 3 add''l USB drives with the intention of mirroring and then migrating the data to the new USB drives. I accidentally added the 3 USB drives in a raidz to my original storage pool, so now I have 2

I have an OCFS2 filesystem on a coraid AOE device. It mounts fine, but with heavy I/O the server self fences claiming a write timeout: (16,2):o2hb_write_timeout:164 ERROR: Heartbeat write timeout to device etherd/e0.1p1 after 12000 milliseconds (16,2):o2hb_stop_all_regions:1789 ERROR: stopping heartbeat on all active regions.

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 all! First my system info: Wine version: 1.3.28 OS: Ubuntu 11.10 Graphics: Mobile Intel GMA X3100 The problem basically is that I am getting no sound when I play AoE II: AoK. The game starts and works otherwise fine, except for the sound bit. When I look in the game's Options menu, both Sound Volume and Music Volume sliders are down and it shows Off. I can move the sliders up, but it

Does anybody know a FreeNAS-like solution, that supports AoE? - Ata over Ethernet? Thank you!

Hi, I have setup an old Compaq Proliant DL580 with 2 xeon @700MHz 2Gb RAM two SmartArray 5300 controllers and 12 drives in an array enclosure. I am running the latest opensolaris update bfu''ed from binaries since I could not build from source. I am controlling the drives with the cpqary3 driver (Solaris 10) from HP. Initially the array had 7 drives and I created a raidz zfs pool
