We use iSCSI in our development labs for GFS clustering. Basically, GFS requires that the underlying storage be concurrently accessible from all nodes in the cluster. This rules out a shared scsi bus between nodes, but fibre channel, iSCSI and gndb all provide the ability to access the underlying storage concurrently. From the basic descriptions of the DS300, I don't see any reason it wouldn't work very well with GFS. It provides either fibre channel or iSCSI support. Kevin
Thanks for your response. If I'm reading what you said correctly ANY iSCSI device would be compatible with GFS? I apologize if this is common knowledge but I've been having problems tracking down some of this info. I'm actually surprised at how little information I've been able to find on the DS300. It seems to be a very good product with SCSI drives that is comparable in price to something similar with SATA drives. Maybe people just don't consider Big Blue for these things? -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
