Folks,
I am looking for a filesystem/software that multiple machines can write
to simultaneously on a SAN slice. I have looked at Tivoli SANergy but
it doesn't have redundancy on Solaris (i.e. once the metacontroller goes
down all the machines connected to it locks). I have also looked at SGI
XFS but am worried about things like backup, restores, and Veritas VM
things like grow/shrink and RAID (i.e. combining two SAN slices). I
also looked at things like Veritas Cluster FS and Sun QFS but it doesn't
seem to be the right thing.
Ideally, it has to be UFS/VxFS compatible and has the ability for
multiply lock servers or some sort of contingency/redundancy for the
lock process.
We currently have a very large SAN filesystem that is shared by multiple
hosts. We want to have the ability to not have to worry about NFS.
Currently it is on a VCS but has on occasion given stale NFS handles
when in failover. So I'm basically looking for a direct connec
solution.
Tivoli's SANErgy product was the closest thing I found but the
redundancy issue was a deal breaker in a production environment.
Is there anything out there that does this?
Thanks,
Sonny
