ARCHITECTURE – 2012- CHALLENGES

￭  Failover •  Split-Brain situation

￭  NetApp •  We want to get rid of it •  No financial scaling

￭  Choosing the right filesystem •  OCFS2 sucks (sometimes) •  Ceph is nearly stable •  GlusterFS implementation is not (yet) ready

ARCHITECTURE – 2012- SOLUTIONS

￭  Pacemaker is controlling the stack •  Checking libvirt is important!

￭  Stonith – if something looks creepy ￭  Still working on NetAPP-NFS ￭  GlusterFS seems to be good for now •  Working on better integration in ONE •  First tests are promising
