hi I am new in GFS concept and planning to use RHEL4 GFS to immplement clustering.My SAN is HDS 9585 and I have 4 HS-20 web servers and 2 IBM HS20 ftp servers. My question is about the place of lock amanger in this configuration. Should I set up lock manager on a separate host or would it be possible to have a node with both roles of lock manager and apache ? please let me know the impact of having a node with both roles ? If I should set up Lock manager and its RLM on different nodes please let me know the best configuration .
I would recommend using lock_dlm. With lock_dlm, each node manages locks for the files it uses. Hope this helps.
