Configuring Lustre for Failover

(Updated: Feb 2010)

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 Chapter 8: Failover in the Lustre Operations Manual.

For a user-contributed guide to configuring Lustre failover with Red Hat Cluster Manager, see Using Red Hat Cluster Manager with Lustre.

For a user-contributed guide to configuring Lustre failover with Pacemaker, see Using Pacemaker with Lustre.

Note: Using Red Hat Cluster Manager or Pacemaker with Lustre is not officially supported at this time.
