Hi all -
I was looking at using firewire for clustering practice. It turns out
that this apparently requires a special, very expensive firewire solution.
So I want to play around with clustering (as in high availability
clustering a la Red Hat Cluster Suite, not computational clustering) at
home so that I can become more proficient. The problem is, I don't want
to buy a multi-thousand dollar SAN for my house. I wanted to find a way
to do clustering on the cheap. I am not sure what path to take, so I am
going to toss it to the list to see if anyone has any suggestions. I am
totally open to older/used equipment if it will work.
>From what I've been told, I need a storage device which is multi-host
aware, so plain old firewire or even SCSI JBOD won't do. I've been
looking at the specs at
http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/cluster/hardware/.
I'm leaning towards VMWare at this point, but I'd rather do it for real
than in virtual machines.
Any pointers?
Thanks!
Thomas
