Hi, Need your help for my proposed setup below. 1. machine1 is the host server that is connected to the SAN, mounts the filesystem. This machine has read-write capability on the filesystem. 2. machine2, machine3, machine4 etc.. are the servers that mounts the same filesystem with read only capability. they are connected to a fiber switch. 3. future machines will be connected to the switch to mount the same filesystem as read only. Upon reading various docs, it says that i have to configure clustering? I'm not sure if that is needed in my setup. All i want to do is to emulate NFS capability, but instead of using the network, my machines are connected directly to the SAN. I might be wrong? Btw, i'm running RH ES 3.0 and has the GFS rpms from Redhat. I've installed it fine but I have no idea on how to configure it. I hope you can help me with any information you can give. Regards, Deks
