“Openfiler is a Linux based NAS/SAN application which
can deliver storage over nfs/smb/iscsi and ftp. It has a web
interface over that you can control these services. The howto is
based on the Howto from Kyle Gililland. A lot of thanks to him for
this.“The cluster we build will consist of two nodes replicating each
other and taking over services and storage in case of emergency.
Furthermore we have an Offsite Replication Server, which ideally
stands in a physically different position and replicates the
configurations/storage from which ever node is active. In case of
emergency this Offsite Replication Server can be used to restore
the cluster and to deliver the services.“I used the Openfiler VMware Images 2.3 x86 and Openfiler 2.3
x86 Installation Media to test out it this howto. Hopefully you
will be able to repeat my steps and have a safe and cheap Storage
Solution.”
