[OpenIndiana-discuss] 2 Node ZFS ISCSI failover Cluster with one SAS storage attached

2011-02-20 Thread Denny Schierz
hi, we want to build a two node failover cluster for exporting ZFS Volumes via ISCSI. The nodes are connected both to one 90TB SAS storage. We had success with Solaris 10 and the HA Storage plus Cluster package (3.x), but after Oracle has changed the license with Sol10/U9, we can't use it

Dear Denny. For the moment the only solution for this issue is to install Opensolaris 2009.6 and to build Open HA Cluster from source. It's comparable to Sun Cluster 3.2 For the future You may have a look onto http://www.illumos.org/projects/ihac The other Alternative could be the FreeBSD HAST
