Linux-PowerEdge Digest, Vol 52, Issue 39

[Brett Delle Grazie]

Dear Jurgen,

You'll need to set up a cluster (cman/cmand), clustered LVM (clvmd) and GFS.
If you're using RHEL5.2 / CentOS 5.2 look at:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/csgfs/  - manuals
http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/ - current wiki with links to the above docs.

Have fun! 

Best regards,

Brett

Well, I just figured out today that I have to use one ...

There is no reference in the MD3000 documentation to GFS and I was naively expecting that the box is taking care of this ... :-)

I'm just about to set GFS up.

Thanks,

Jürgen
