Hi All,
I´m going to mount an active-active file server and my first
idea is to
mount a NFS service with luci but now I have the doubt if is it
possible. with luci i have allways mounted Active-Passive
services. So,
my question is that.
Any other aproach to get an Active-Active file Server?
Not with NFS, since NFS has no feature to have multiple
servers/share. But there is no reason you can't connect half of the
clients to the other server.
I haven't realized about it, it could be a solution.
one thing, I have been investigating about it, and I have thought it
could be possible using Linux Virtual Server (administered with
piranha), what do you think about it?
I think you need to start to list your requirements in a coherent manner first, in terms of performance, features, and redundancy. The solution you should be looking for will be more obvious then.
Hi again,
you are right this is a bit confusing (my customer said me: I need a cluster file server, its your problem... :-/ ). Now I´m investigating how to do it.
what basically I need is:
I need to access the files in HA and it must be scalable. If the load is a problem I could be able to add another node to solve the load problem, (so I thought in a Active-active, because with Active-Pasive only there is one node active so the load problem is still there)
Hmm, personally I find that sticking with only what ships with the distro to be too limiting as soon as you need to cover a use-case that isn't very basic and boring. But if you are looking for a "supported" solution, Gluster Inc. do have support contracts available.
If you need client-side multi-homing, GlusterFS can do that.
in this project I only can use red hat certified solutions. I suposse
GlusterFS isn't,
I'll try it in my systems to test it, but I think I can´t use it, :-(
But without more information on your use-case and expected access patterns, it is impossible to suggest a solution in a particularly meaningful way.

Thanks Gordan,
