Howto build a redundant OpenSource ZFS storage cluster
There is now an OpenSource storage cluster available for OpenIndiana. Because this is a really killer feature,
i intent to add it into napp-it - although my cluster knowledge is limited but I can learn.
My first intension is to find interested users to share experiences on a common base config to push the HA idea for free OpenIndiana ZFS storage clusters (to have one working and tested minimal config) and include it as a free option into napp-it (as an open alternative to the comercially supported RSF-1 clusters for OpenIndiana from high-availability).
I will start with my current state at http://booki.cc/howto-setup-openindiana-ha-clusters-in-esxi/
This is an open book, editable for everyone and I hope for a working config if some more users help to write such a first howto If you are interested in clustering (on OpenIndiana), please share ideas and help with setup suggestions. All what you need is a VMware server to create two VM's to have a common config to work at.
Current concept:
Two nodes for high availability of services with shared storage (SAS or iSCSI)
To evaluate, this can be done with three VM's on ESXi totally without buying enterprise hardware
