<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear Team,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Can we share a Volume group between
systems?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have a virtualized setup using Vmware Hypervisor,
I am using Openfiler as an alternate to storage (NAS) on
virtualization.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As I need tenant isolation, I
am using different Openfiler instances to provide storage.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My scenario: I have 1TB of LUN from a NetApp SAN
configured on 6 Openfilers, and all Openfilers has R/W access to the VolumeGroup
created.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>All these Openfilers are creating Logical Volumes
on the Shared Volume Group. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Till now All my Openfiler are able to R/W access
the Volume Group and create Logical volumes/Shares and serve the clients as NFS
and CIFS share.</FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My Question is can I put this setup into
production, what challenges will I face.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Awaiting your valuable response on
this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
