Hi all.

I am currently working for a hosting provider in a 100+ linux hosts' environment. We have www, mail HA solutions, as storage we mainly use NFS at the moment. We are also using DRBD, Heartbeat, Corosync.

I am now gathering info to make a cluster with:

• two virtualization nodes (active master and passive slave);
• two storage nodes (for vm files) used by mentioned virtualization

nodes (also active/passive).

For virtualization I am thinking to use OpenVZ or KVM. For storage NFS or iSCSI. Could you please share your experiences with these technologies? Which one would you use and why? Are there any good alternatives in CentOS?

Thanks for the info, Rafal.

If you plan to use DRBD, do you really need external SAN? If not, this might be good;
