Hello list
I've installed cluster suite with 8 physical nodes, these are connected to a SAN using CLVM and AOE protocol.
The cluster suite runs on the physical nodes/servers, in dom0. If I have to use GFS, where do I install this? What is the right approach to using GFS with Xen. I see 2 options:
1. I install GFS inside each domU (unprivileged domain, the actual VM).
2. I install GFS on CLVM volumes on dom0 and mount these partitions with domUs.
Which of these options are possible ?
Or maybe I have to ask, how do you do it ? :)
Thanks

wont this get really messy once you have more than a few DomU's
- I install GFS on CLVM volumes on dom0 and mount these partitions with
domUs.
This is how I do it, manage the block device with clusterlvm, and run gfs on top of it.

I didn't know that GFS can be used by a domU without the cluster suite installed.
Isn't it necessary to install some kernel modules inside the domU to read a GFS partition?
Can I just mount this partition inside a domU and let dom0 handle the GFS cluster file system?
Thanks.

there is no clustersuite on centos-5, its all a part of the distro itself.
