Configuring Lustre for Failover

If you plan to enable failover server functionality with Lustre™ (either on an OSS or MDS), you must add high-availability (HA) software to your cluster software. You can use any HA software package with Lustre.

For more information about failover in a Lustre file system, see [[Media:NEW_Failover_HB_3-3.pdf‎ |Chapter 8:Failover]] in the Lustre Operations Manual. (Updated 1/22/2010)

For a user-contributed guide to configuring Lustre failover with Pacemaker, see Using Pacemaker with Lustre. Note: Using Pacemaker with Lustre is not officially supported at this time.
