I'm looking for feedback on two items :
1. Experience with GFS using iSCSI
2. Any experience using the HP 2012i iSCSI array .
My current application runs AS 3 with clustering on a 2 node HP DL380G3
Packaged Cluster(SCSI shared array) in a primary/secondary configuration.
The data is made available to other local ES3 machines(4 x DL380G3/4's) via NFS.
These machines run reports as well as run apache for user access. The
shared array holds numerous log files which are written to constantly.
Currently we have ~200 files which recieve ~4GB of data daily so the write
loading is not high.
One option for upgrading is to :
- Upgrade to latest RH with clustering and GFS on all the servers.
- Have the shared data on a HP iSCSI(MSA2012i) which is
accessed by all. We use HP equipment so my options are limited.
I have found the following article comparing iSCSI devices including
HP2012i on both Windows and Centos 5 : http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2008/072808-test-iscsi-sans.html
HP 2012i results : http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2008/072808-test-iscsi-sans-hp.html
