Presently we have a 3 node production GFS system for which I am creating a backup system. The production system has a hardware raid device attached as the shared storage and I have a second virtually identical storage device and host that I want to use for the backup. The backup device and host will eventually be at a separate physical location to the production system (once the two systems are syncronised) so I don't want it to be part of the existing cluster. In the event of failure of the production storage, the simplest solution would be to physically transfer the backup storage to the production environment and swap the devices. Can anyone suggest the best way to set up the backup file system? If I used a one node cluster as the backup, would it be a) possible to convert the locking from nolock to dlm? and b) Convert the ClusterName and FSName Is it possible to convert other file systems to GFS ones so that no cluster infrastructure is needed for the backup?
