Ok, might as well ask this... since I can't seem to find anything on it. How about just a central storage that can be split up into many small segments so that blades can boot over the network, then joint the GFS cluster? I mean, all I want to do is to remove the drives since they really aren't being used. All of the work is being done on the GFS cluster once a machine is up and running. It barely does anything with it's drive other than the OS of course, even logging is all remote. Isn't there a simpler way of getting this done without having to get into whole new technologies? All of the blades have PXE boot capabilities, there must be some simple way of doing this?
