Re: best practices in using shared storage for XEN Virtual Machines and auto-failover?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



  I am very happy with RedHat Cluster Suite and GFS2 on a shared SAN 
storage (i.e. scsi block device), since RedHat Cluster Suite not only 
handles the file systems but also looks to the availability of the xen 
vms (live migration, restart, etc.).
