I use ucarp to make a real failover for my gluster-vols For the clients: Ex:In my ucarp config, vip-001.conf on both nodes (or nnn... nodes): vip-001.conf on node1 #ID ID=001 #Network Interface BIND_INTERFACE=eth0 #Real IP SOURCE_ADDRESS=192.168.132.56 #Virtual IP used by ucarp VIP_ADDRESS=192.168.132.58 #Ucarp Password PASSWORD=Password On node2 #ID ID=002 #Network Interface BIND_INTERFACE=eth0 #Real IP SOURCE_ADDRESS=192.168.132.57 #Virtual IP used by ucarp VIP_ADDRESS=192.168.132.58 #Ucarp Password PASSWORD=Password Then mount -t glusterfs 192.168.132.58:/samba-vol /mnt/glusterfs Set enries in fstab: 192.168.132.58:/samba-vol /mnt/glusterfs glusterfs defaults 0 0 Now one Server fails there is still the same service on for the clients. ----------------------------------------------- EDV Daniel M?ller Leitung EDV Tropenklinik Paul-Lechler-Krankenhaus Paul-Lechler-Str. 24 72076 T?bingen Tel.: 07071/206-463, Fax: 07071/206-499 eMail: mueller at tropenklinik.de Internet: www.tropenklinik.de ----------------------------------------------- -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [mailto:gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org] Im Auftrag von Mohit Anchlia Gesendet: Freitag, 4. M?rz 2011 03:46 An: gluster-users at gluster.org Betreff: Automatic Failover I am actively trying to find out how automatic failover works but not able to find how? Is it in the mount option or where do we give if node 1 is down then write to node 2 or something like that. Can someone please explain how it work? _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
