Howdy, thanks for all your answers here. With your help
(particularly Digimer), I was able to set up my little two node GFS2
cluster. I can't pretend yet to understand everything, but I have a
blossoming awareness of what and why and how. The way I finally set it up for my test cluster was
I am setting up GFS2 on CentOS running on VMWare and a SAN. We want to take advantage of VMWare's High Availability (HA) and Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) which allow the VM cluster to migrate a guest to another host if the guest becomes unavailable for any reason. I've come across some contradictory statements regarding the compatibility of RDMs and HA/DRS. So naturally, I have some questions: 1) If my shared cluster filesystem resides on an RDM on a SAN and is available to all of the ESXi hosts, can I use vMotion and DRS or not? If so, what are the limitations? If not, why not? 2) If I cannot use an RDM for the cluster filesystem, can I use VMFS so vmware can deal with it? What are the limitations of this? 3) Is there some other magic way using iSCSI connectors or something bypassing vmware? Anyone have experience with this? Can anyone point me to details docs on this?
