• Setting Up A Highly Available NFS Server

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: other, debian, high-availability, storage • Comments: 21

  Setting 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 On Debian Etch

  Author: rodolphe • Tags: debian, storage • Comments: 2

  Using ATA Over Ethernet On Debian Etch Imagine you have a machine with all of its disk full and another with unused gigabytes, and you don't want to move the data from one to the other. Why not using the second's disk on the first, you can do it with iSCSI but you can do it with ATA over Ethernet (AoE) too. It's the second method I'll explain in this article. All of this was made with two computers running Debian Etch.

• 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.
