I have an application I run on the nodes of a cluster. This application used the dlm for file locking between the nodes by calling o2dlm_initialize() to create a domain, and then o2dlm_lock() and o2dlm_unlock() to lock/unlock files. This works fine, and the locks are seen by the other nodes.
I was wondering on the viability of two clusters accessing the same volume, and seeing each others locks. Say I have two (2 node) clusters, A and B. Each cluster is on a private network within itself, and they are identical. This means each cluster will have a system host1 on 10.1.1.1 and a system host2 on 10.1.1.2 . 1. first of all, would this configuration even work ? If not, would it work if the clusters had different cluster names, host names, ip addresses ? 2. can a node on cluster A see a dlm lock from cluster B ? note there is no IP connection between the clusters. 3. is there any way to make one cluster aware of a different cluster that is ip connected (one with a different cluster name, host names, ip addresses, same/different dlm domain names) ?
