Nexenta HA ZFS volume

Added by Tom Baxter about 1 year ago

Hi All, a few weeks ago nexenta had an article on their website under the following url:

[[http://www.nexenta.org/projects/site/wiki/HANASwithNexentaOS]]

This no longer works. I was wondering how easy it would be to recreate an HA cluster of servers. The idea is that there are 2 systems (node A and node B). Interfaces are constantly polled and the moment A is no longer to access B (or vice versa) the node with the mounted disks unmounts the array and node B becomes active and mounts the disks. There's one issue I have, exporting the ZFS array to a file which is shared between the systems.

Can anyone help? Or better still provide an overview of the original link which is now offline :(

Nexenta.org got taken down the first week of march. We are working to move over the content, but that will take me sometime.

I am checking to see if we can find another copy... please stand by

This is absolutely brilliant, except there's no script available for download; I maybe able to make one up though. If anyone ever downloaded or used the original I'd be really grateful if you could paste it on pastebin or upload it somewhere, I don't mind where - I assume it's gonna be under 300lines anyway.

Thanks for your efforts, very much appreciated - even as building blocks it will be useful, thanks.
