Hi all,
I'm currently thinking about similar configurations, and (also for cost reasons :-) am also thinking about GNBD with two standard servers as a "poor man" redundant storage - but I'm wondering if that gives enough performance for running databases (in my case Oracle) on top of it. The configuration I'm thinking about would be two current Dell servers with hardware RAID 10 and connected by a dedicated 1 GBit crossover-cable, running both the cluster software and Oracle.
It depends on the number of queries and how they use the indexes, this will generate the I/O that may or may not be too much for a poor man's solution.
Does anyone use this in "real-World" scenarios and has some practical experience with it?
I'm afraid I don't have a practical experience.
