Hi Evan,
Thanks for the response. Just out of curiosity, do you have to pay the extra licensing costs for each CentOS node?
best,

Hi all,I was wondering if anyone might be able to speak about using IBM's
GPFS filesystem as a means of storing virtual guests in a clustered environment with CentOS as the nodes and KVM as the hypervisor?
Hi Adam, I use GPFS as my filesystem for my Centos-Xenvirtual environment.
The Virtual servers are converted Compute nodes, running Centos 5.4 with Xen 3.4.2 and have Infiniband connectivity to the NSD servers. The VM's all live on the GPFS filesystem. This has worked pretty well, the disk performance of the VM's has been good when using the GPL paravirt drivers (my VM's are windows server 2003).
