While I've not done it before, I believe it's possible using GFS: http://www.redhat.com/gfs/ I'm taking RH436 later this month, so hopefully after that I'll have a better idea about how exactly to do it. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ryan Golhar Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 3:58 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RHEL 5.2 -> Sun 2540 Fibre Disk Array Hi, I'd like to get some opinions before I venture on this. I have a couple of Sun servers running RHEL 5.2. They all have fibre cards and are connected to a Sun 2540 Fibre Disk Array. I've allocated a chunk of disk space space on the SAN to be used for /home. Previously, I would have set up an NFS server and mounted /home from the other servers. But now, that everything is connected directly to the SAN I could mount /home directly without using NFS. Is this possible or am I still going to need an NFS server to control access to /home? The more I think about it, the more it worries me because /home is a logical volume. Can I have all the servers accessing this partion at the same time? If I can't have all the machines mount /home directly from the SAN, then that sort of defeats the purpose of having the SAN for /home, IMO. What would be the best way for setting this up? ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
