I would have high-availability if I have a bonding mode 0,1 or 2. But I have LACP bonding attached to the same switch, if I loose a switch, my OSS will be down. From: Indivar Nair Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2013 8:30 AM To: Alfonso Pardo Cc: Michael Shuey ; lustre-discuss Subject: Re: [Lustre-

Then follow the instructions in my earlier mail. No need to have bond0 and bond1. You will achieve high-availability even with one bonded interface. Cheers, Indivar Nair On Thu, Jun 27, 2013 at 11:55 AM, Alfonso Pardo wrote: > Yes I have two swtiches, one to the bond0 interface and other sw

The virtual inferface will be the OSS. A virtual IP will start in the first interface, and if the network attached to the first interface is failed, the virtual IP is move to the second interface. I need have two networks, because I need to guarantee to my clients a network in HA and minimized

I am not aware of any tool or method to recover from a lost MGT/MDT. Do you have any recent backups of your MDT device? I would hold on to your MDT device with care and see if someone can help you resurrect it. --Jeff On 6/26/13 3:01 PM, Andrus, Brian Contractor wrote: > All, > > We have a si

All, We have a sizeable filesystem and during a hardware upgrade, our MDT disk was completely lost. I am trying to find if and how to recover from such an event, but am not finding anything. We were running lustre 2.3 and have upgraded to 2.4 (or are in the process of it). Can anyone point me

Hi Alfonso, I guess, you have two switches, with 2 interfaces (bond0) connected to one switch and the other 2 interfaces (bond1) to the second switch. --- What you need to do is merge the switches using a 'stacking' cable (if the switches are stackable) and create a single trunk using 2 ports fr

That will probably be slow - the machine you use to proxy the IPVS address would be a bottleneck. Out of curiosity, what problem are you trying to solve here? Do you anticipate whole-subnet outages to be an issue (and if so, why)? -- Mike Shuey On Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 4:53 AM, Alfonso Pardo wr
