[Linux-cluster] R: [Xen-users] Storage questions

[Cluster Management]

What about iscsi-target?

 

You could transform a server in something like an ISCSI storage.

 

I use this solution in my office with a tree nodes cluster.

Oggetto: [Xen-users] Storage questions

 

Hello,

I am looking to set up a Xen array of servers and I don't really know how to
set up the storage subsystem.

I have been looking for a little while and two options stand out for my
setup. The problem is rather simple, I need a pool of servers to access a
shared storage ressource.

The first option is the easiest, NFS. 

The second option is a little more complex in appearance. I won't be able to
have enough budget to buy a SAN so that is out of the question. What I could
do is have a storage server with a bunch of disks. I would GNBD (or some
other Network Block Driver) coupled with GFS. I am pretty new to these two
concepts. I know that GNBD cannot be used alone if I want more then a single
server to access the storage space.

What is more interesting with performance in mind ? 

Thank you in advance for your input,

Antoine Benkemoun
