<p class="MsoNormal">Hello!<br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to find the best approach for creating a
distributed cluster based on the following specs:</p>

</span></span></span>2 datacenters (close to each other and connected
by fiber channel);</p>

</span></span></span>1 server on each data center</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In an event of a failure of a single datacenter, the
remaining datacenter must be responsible for assuring all services.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My approach would be to (I don’t exactly know if it is
possible):</p>

</span></span></span>Present one LUN from each storage to both
servers:</p>

A) - LUN A (STORAGE A)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.6pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;">          
                            
      LUN B (STORAGE B)</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 54pt;">   
       server B (DC B) - LUN B (STORAGE B)</p>

using RAID1:</p>

</span></span></span>Put /mydata on the cluster;</p>

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 72pt;"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Is this a feasible approach? Is there a better option?</p>
