As long as you are not trying to serve the same shared file system
through the same service, like samba
for example through multiple vm's for load balancing and/or redundancy,
this shouldn't apply.

It is a good idea to also check out whether there are any issues with
running these services in a cluster in an active-active configuration.
For example with samba, if you are going to serve the same gfs volume
as an smb volume using multiple vm's, then you would need
to use the cluster implementation - http://ctdb.samba.org/
Let me try this again, as I fat fingered the send...
We are not using gfs, does this still apply?

We are trying to set up an 8 node cluster and run a number of
virtual machines on top of this cluster. The boxes are running Red
Hat 5 and we are using Xen.
Before going into the actual issues we are running into, I thought
we should first find out if there are others who are doing this, or
attempting to do this.
This includes a separate virtual server for the following services:
squid, ldap, mail server, dns, samba, email and a handful of
Xservers/application servers.
The specific hardware includes:
8 Dell 19150 nodes w/ rh5.2 xen
Each node has 32GB of ram and 8 cores (xeon 2.66)
EMC San CX-310
2 Brocade 5000 fibre switches
Any feedback from anyone attempting or currently running a similar
solution (virtualization on top of cluster) would be greatly
appreciated.
