Great progress Rafiu,
Although OpenFiler is getting stronger with its new features I'm still
missing some crucial elements that were mentioned previously to be part of
v2.2. It would be nice if we can see LUN control on iSCSI volumes soon for
better support over VMware ESX 3 infrastructure (LUNs are still being reset
to the value of 0 whenever a change is made to the iSCSI volumes). Another
useful feature would be network load balancing setup via main web interface.
This is something I need (network load balancing) as well. I was going
to take a stab at this in the next few weeks (I have to finish doing a
MB/GB/TB/PB patch for size reporting). I am doing this by hand now.
However, what I am doing can be (easily) recrafted into a perl script.
This in turn could be easily driven by a web page.
I'm not sure if there are any plans for extending High Availability features
in the near future but in my opinion advanced administrators would find it
very useful to see features like failover between two OF boxes connected to
a single backend storage. Such features are already being used at almost all
professional solutions like NetApp, EMC, etc., but I believe similar
functionalities can be implemented within OF as well.
This is also something we would find useful.
