[lustre-discuss] HPC Head node clustering and lustre

[Brian Andrus]

Amjad,

That would depend on how they setup PCS. If you are going to have a 
'floating' IP that is failed over and merely used for the login traffic, 
there should be no issue.

I think the method for HA is a bit overkill, however. Depending on what 
services are running, it may make more sense to just have a secondary 
system that is running and use DNS to failover or just round-robin users 
to balance them across the systems that are up. Certainly easier to 
maintain and easier to recover when something happens.
