• High-Availability Storage with GlusterFS on CentOS 7 - Mirror across two storage servers

  Author: Till Brehm • Tags: centos, high-availability, linux, storage • Comments: 4 • Published: Jul 01, 2016

  This tutorial shows how to set up a high-availability storage with two storage servers (CentOS 7.2) that use GlusterFS. Each storage server will be a mirror of the other storage server, and files will be replicated automatically across both storage servers. The client system (CentOS 7.2 as well) will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes.

• Using ATA Over Ethernet (AoE) on CentOS 7 (Initiator and Target)

  Author: Till Brehm • Tags: centos, linux, storage • Comments: 0 • Published: Jun 30, 2016

  This guide explains how you can set up an AoE target and an AoE initiator (client), both running CentOS 7. 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.

• Setup ATA over Ethernet (AoE) on Debian 8 (Initiator and Target)

  Author: Till Brehm • Tags: debian, server, storage • Comments: 1

  This tutorial shows you how to setup an AoE client (initiator) and server (target) on Debian 8 /Jessie). The term AoE stands for "ATA over Ethernet" which is a storage area network (SAN) protocol that allows AoE clients to use storage devices on the (remote) AoE server over a normal ethernet network. "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 client (initiator), the remote storage looks like a normal, locally-attached hard drive.
