Comments on Openfiler 2.99 Active/Passive With Corosync, Pacemaker And DRBD

This here is a good reason to change to FreeNAS. I did several years ago.
It's way easier to install and use.

Because its so easy to setup FreeNAS as High Available Solution? I doubt so ... but why dont you write a howto about it because i had a hardtime using freenas after all.

I really am having a hard time considering FreeNAS as a SAN solution for HA iSCSI deployment.  Sorry, but I think you must be referring to some home media server or something.  This is all about grown up stuff - not toys.

 I got following:

[root@filer02 ~]# crm configure show
node filer01 \
        attributes standby="on"
node filer02 \
        attributes standby="on"

 How to change to attributes standby="off" ?

You may edit those item:

 # crm configure

 crm(live)configure# edit filler01

lvcreate -L 400M -n filer data

Why "-L 400M"? If this is data volume, why not to use all 4GB?

This is just the initial start volume to get things going. It doesn't matter what size you put it. You can create any volume size later with the web interface after everything is completely setup.

Can someone please tell me how to set up a 3rd offsite node in this scenario?

Thank you for this info! It really helped me. I had still an issue with the failover part caused by a small bug in the iscsi package of openfiler. This thread helped me solving it: https://forums.openfiler.com/index.php?/topic/5739-lvm-cluster-resource-migration-issue/

Wouldn't it make more sense to use drbdlinks instead of moving things into the meta directory manually?

Hi everyone .i tested all this option and working perfectly.but i want test other: i want add aditional hard disk.how i add this device to drbd and it working every openfiler.who is tested this?

I deploy according to the document, but NFS can not be highly available?

Thanks,

correct nfs-lock to nfslock... Rest is good, Thanks!
