How To Set Up Software RAID1 On A Running LVM System (Incl. GRUB Configuration) (Fedora 8)
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: fedora, storage • Comments: 0How To Set Up Software RAID1 On A Running LVM System (Incl. GRUB Configuration) (Fedora 8) This guide explains how to set up software RAID1 on an already running LVM system (Fedora 8). The GRUB bootloader will be configured in such a way that the system will still be able to boot if one of the hard drives fails (no matter which one).

Setting Up An NFS Server And Client On Debian Etch
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: debian, storage • Comments: 5Setting Up An NFS Server And Client On Debian Etch This guide explains how to set up an NFS server and an NFS client on Debian Etch. NFS stands for Network File System; through NFS, a client can access (read, write) a remote share on an NFS server as if it was on the local hard disk.

Setting Up A Highly Available NFS Server
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: other, debian, high-availability, storage • Comments: 21Setting Up A Highly Available NFS Server In this tutorial I will describe how to set up a highly available NFS server that can be used as storage solution for other high-availability services like, for example, a cluster of web servers that are being loadbalanced. If you have a web server cluster with two or more nodes that serve the same web site(s), than these nodes must access the same pool of data so that every node serves the same data, no matter if the loadbalancer directs the user to node 1 or node n. This can be achieved with an NFS share on an NFS server that all web server nodes (the NFS clients) can access.

Using ATA Over Ethernet (AoE) On Debian Lenny (Initiator And Target)
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: debian, storage •
Comments: 0 Using ATA Over Ethernet (AoE) On Debian Lenny (Initiator And Target) This guide explains how you can set up an AoE target and an AoE initiator (client), both running Debian Lenny. AoE stands for "ATA over Ethernet" and is a storage area network (SAN) protocol which allows AoE initiators to use storage devices on the (remote) AoE target using normal ethernet cabling. "Remote" in this case means "inside the same LAN" because AoE is not routable outside a LAN (this is a major difference compared to iSCSI). To the AoE initiator, the remote storage looks like a normal, locally-attached hard drive.

Comments: 11 Xen Live Migration Of An LVM-Based Virtual Machine With iSCSI On Debian Lenny This guide explains how you can do a live migration of an LVM-based virtual machine (domU) from one Xen host to the other. I will use iSCSI to provide shared storage for the virtual machines in this tutorial. Both Xen hosts and the iSCSI target are running on Debian Lenny in this article.
