Hi! > Just put your lvm volume on an md multipath device. Note > that these are not loadbalanced paths in stock kernels, just > failover paths. Well, in evms 2.1, with 2.4.21 and the md-multipath, I am offered a load-balanced multipath configuration. However, as I currently have the expensive emc module mentioned in the firt mail ;-), I didn't really try this. If you want to have load balancing, just divide each raidset into two luns / "devices", and access each raidset via two paths by this configuration. If you put an lvm-stripeset over those two luns, you get a "load-balanced" access to your raidset over both channels. I am currently doing tests with these configurations, but I have moved to evms with our new fileserver because of some cluster functionality in the 2.x-releases of evms. We have shared storage between two nodes, and while you can do this with lvm, it is AFAIK a bit dangerous because you must make sure that one nodes commits an vgscan if the other one changed the lvm configuration. Good luck, CU Lars. -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Jetzt ein- oder umsteigen und USB-Speicheruhr als Prämie sichern! _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
