[ILUG] HA NFS

[ILUG] HA NFS

Hi,

Just to restate my previous question a bit more clearly.

I have 2 nfs servers and they are both being presented with the same
SAN LUN on a HP EVA with full filover multipath using the HP HBA
drivers. Replication between SAN's is configured using HP Continous
Access.

On Server1 I have configured an LVM2 LV on the LUN with an EXT3 flesystem.

On Server2 I have mounted the same LUN as readonly.

I'm exporting NFS4 from both servers as Readonly.

Is there any reason why I should be using CLVM or GFS2 in this sort of
situation? Instead of plain LVM2 and EXT3?

Everything looks like it's working and I can't see any reason why it
should not work? Server2 cannot access any files or write any LVM meta
data to the LUN because it has Read only access.


Cheers,
John
