Please advise and/or redirect this posting if this is not the correct forum for my question - thanks. A company wants to use clustered rhel5 systems as inside/outside ftp servers. Users on the inside (LAN) cluster nodes can read and write to the SAN, while users on the outside (DMZ) cluster can only read. Is this application possible without GFS? If one node in the cluster fails, can the other node be provisioned to provide all services until recovery? Can a SAN be used as the "single" ftp location for both services (inside FTP & outside FTP?) Does the customer need more than four systems (i.e. 2 inside - 2 outside) - is a separate "command" system required? Have Dell's m1000e & 600 series blades been certified for this operating system? Is there any documentation available regarding separate access rights for multiple nodes in a cluster available? Thanks for your constructive reply. -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
