[Lustre-discuss] Clustered MDS & OSS Servers

[Jagga Soorma]

Hi Guys,

I am working on clustering our MDS & OSS servers and wanted to make sure I
understand this correctly.  Can you please let me know if this sounds right:

a) Planning on having a floating virtual IP setup on the active MDS server
(ib1:1).  This is what the OSS's will use when doing their mkfs.  In an
outage this virtual IP address will migrate to the standby node.
b) On the oss's there is no need for a virtual IP that would need to fail
over in an outage.  I would simply have heartbeat mount the filesystems on
the other OSS node.

Please let me know if I missed anything.

Thanks,
-J
