Hi all, I repost this message as plain text. (Sorry for the HTML one) I hope this is not an off-topic here.
I'm trying to configure my samba on a RedHat AS 2.1, to run in an active-active configuration. The "Red Hat Cluster Manager Installation and Administration Guide" says on chapter 6.2 : "Allows the setup of an active-active configuration to maximize equipment utilization. More details on active-active configurations appear below." But - no luck for me :-) , because no such details appear below... So I took some wild guesses but I'm not exactly sure of them: I assumed that for high availability active-active configuration, each node actually exports a different SMB share. I guess I have to define two different "Cluster Services" , each one as a samba service, and each such cluster service, should run by default on a different node. In case one of the nodes fails - the other one takes over that SMB share, while still exporint its own share. If I am correct, I have few things I'm not sure about (yet): 1. do both nodes need to run nmbd ? if so - should I configure both of them to the same NETBIOS Name ? If yes - how does it work ?! If not - How do they fail over ? What NETBIOS Name should I write in the smb.conf.share_name file ? name of node A, node B or the cluster alias ? 2. I am using security = domain. assuming that my nodes names are RHCLU0, RHCLU1 and the alias is RHCLU : should I add a computer account in my domain for both nodes and the alias ? only the nodes ? only the alias ?
