Hi, I’m slowly finding my way around glusterfs and getting a little more comfortable with the concepts of glusterfs itself. I have a 2 node baremetal server with a 1.5 TB volume replicating and it seems pretty damn cool. I have now exported with samba as well. I can connect with samba to the volume on either node. My question is - kind of stupid maybe – but if I am connected to a node via samba, and that node goes down for any reason, is that it? I guess I have to then manually connect to the other node? There isn’t any automated way … I guess
I am thinking about a MS cluster file server where there is a shared IP address between the nodes so if one node fails the ip address goes to the other node and you can more or less keep working. Anyw writes you were doing at the time would be lost, but you
would be automatically reconnected. Is this in the scope of gluster or would I need to look at some other form of HA to make this work? I appreciate any help or further reading I can do on this – I’m very new to GlusterFS only one week into it, but very interested in the
capabilities. Thanks
