Hi list.

I have the setup illustrated below. The app (application xen) servers will have live migration between them, and at any given time there can be added new app servers and more storage on the same storage server. I have exported the block devices from the shared storage with nbd.

---------  ---------
| app 1 |  | app 2 |
---------  ---------
    \        /
     \      /
      \    /
  ----------------
 | shared storage |
  ----------------

I have a lot of troble to get the GFS to work on xenified kernel 2.6.16. Whereas I have no problem patching the xenified kernel with the evms patches. I haven't tryed booting the kernel yet but it compiled fine.

Do any one have tried any thing simular and with what result ?
Can I change the setup to allow more storage servers for HA ?
Does any one have any thoughts on this matter ?


- Karsten
