AW: NFS & Clustering

AW: NFS & Clustering

Small appendix:

What we are looking for is basically a high-availability solution for =
our
NFS server(s). With the numbers of our diskless clients growing, we =
simply
cannot afford downtimes (this is an industrial production environment). =


My options are to either find a high-availabilty solution for the NFS =
server
or to make the clients work when the server is down. I think I'll try =
the
clustering/HA first ;-)

http://www.linux-ha.org/

Have a look at that link, and maybe ask around a bit on the linux-ha-
mailnglist and I think you'll achieve your goal :)

Hallo Marco,

have you tried nfs with heartbeat and drbd?
At this time we are evaluating this scenario because we will use it in =
our
production environment. At this time there is a limitation, drdb works =
only
with two servers.

Bye
Markus

what about using GFS / OpenGFS to store /var/lib/nfs?

any tried this, and does it work?

   Mission Critical Linux had a product called Convolo Cluster. I 
believe they still sell it. And there was a thread in this mailing 
list started by someone at SteelEye, i found out from it that they 
have this product called LifeKeeper for Linux that is supposed to do 
wht you are looking for, among other things.

Hi,

I have an active/passiv system running with sgi failsafe, which is maintained 
(scripts only) by SuSE. I use it under Redhat and debian. 

If you want to use it in production environment I recommend that you do 
excessive tests or buy some consulting! Appropriate hardware is essential and 
expensive. (Just in case somebody thought you could do it with no/low cost)
