Re: [gentoo-user] Fwd: How about the gentoo server or cluster in production environment?

2014-02-27 Thread Nick Cameo
Just because google does it, does not mean it's right. If you are going to
make a suggestion, please
make it an educated one. For example:

I prefer RHEL because of it's mature GFS, and CMAN support which is Red
Hat's implementation of
global file system and cluster computing.

Or you could even sound funny saying it but add valuable input
nevertheless. Some thing like:

I think SLES is the shizaooo for clustering because of it's continued
support of Pacemaker Cluster, DRBD,
GFS, OCFS2 etc

Just saying I like something because google does, is not valuable input. To
be honest, it's just as a waste of time
to read as it is to write.

Debian, and Ubuntu are desktop platforms. Yes they are widely used in
production server environments (the slow
ones that is) however, our last experience with Debian squeeze as a whole
(ie, source tree, reliability, performance),
was inhospitable. Dare I say, it was making as nauseated as we would be
behind a Windows machine...

That being said, the OP did not specify the type of cluster. Is he
referring to HPLC (Oscar, Rocks, MPI) or Failover
cluster for certain services such as HTTP, SSH etc.. as is provided by
CMAN, Pacemaker.


What has worked really solid for us due to many factors, and the idea of
being able to build everything from the ground up
is Gentoo, with Pacemaker, GFS, and DRBD. This is for our failover system.

Kind Regards,

Nick from Toronto.

  Hi all,
 
  I'm not familiar with gentoo server and cluster. So could you tell me
  the experience about them? Thanks.

 Gentoo makes the best server os because it's a custom built os where the
 admin knows each and every aspect of the os. Security wise, there are no
 unwanted or unused stuff, so lesser bugs to deal with.

 Clustering, well, you can do that using glusterfs

Re: [gentoo-user] Nut and networked UPS config

2013-12-15 Thread Nick Cameo
What you gents are talking about it stonith. At the UPS and Host
level, it's everything off or everything on. If you like individual
STONITH per host, it's been a while however, this is done at the PDU
and Host level. As for VM, I use Xen, and there we use libvirt and/or
fence_virt.

There we have STONITH at the HOST (via PDU and Iron) and VM level (via
PDU and virtual machine library)
