Openfiler 2.3 Active/Passive Cluster (heartbeat,DRBD) With Offsite Replication Node Openfiler is a Linux based NAS/SAN application which can deliver storage over nfs/smb/iscsi and ftp. It has a web interface over that you can control these services. The cluster we build will consist of two nodes replicating each other and taking over services and storage in case of emergency. Furthermore we have an Offsite Replication Server, which ideally stands in a physically different position and replicates the configurations/storage from which ever node is active. In case of emergency this Offsite Replication Server can be used to restore the cluster and to deliver the services. in Public bookmarkswith drbdheartbeathigh-availabilityiscsinasnfsopenfilerreplicationsansmbstorage
Using iSCSI On Debian Squeeze (Initiator And Target) This guide explains how you can set up an iSCSI target and an iSCSI initiator (client), both running Debian Squeeze. The iSCSI protocol is a storage area network (SAN) protocol which allows iSCSI initiators to use storage devices on the (remote) iSCSI target using normal ethernet cabling. To the iSCSI initiator, the remote storage looks like a normal, locally-attached hard drive. in Public bookmarkswith debianiscsinassansqueezestorage
