Hi,
there is an integration in place with Gluster, NFS-Ganesha and Pacemaker. This combination makes it possible to have an active-active high-available NFS-server backed by Gluster volumes.
We'd like to add automated testing for functional fail-over in the CI. This requires the use of virtual-IPs that get assigned to the different NFS-Ganesha servers, which will migrate to other servers upon failure.
On https://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/PubHardware is a mentioning of "reserved IP addresses" where the Gluster project in the CI would like to get listed too. What is the process to request a few IPs, and what are the restrictions we need to be aware of (and how to put them in the Jenkins job)?
Thanks, Niels

Hi Niels,
Such mail around the CI environment should be probably be sent/discussed on the ci-users list (see https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/ci-users) : that's where some requests are tracked/discussed and other projects are giving their opinions/ideas/suggestions too. For the "reserved ip addresses" question, we can even have a dedicated block for gluster, outside of the CI subnet itself. But let's discuss this on the appropriate list :-)

Uh, yes of course. I'll resend it to the right list.
Thanks, Niels
