I just got word that a talk about iSCSI High Availability with Pacemaker and DRBD, which I submitted for LinuxTag 2010, has been accepted by the selection committee.
The presentation is entitled Storage Done Right: Building a Resilient, Distributed, Highly Available Open Source iSCSI SAN and I will talk in the Storage track, in English. Questions in German, of course, won’t be a problem.
As the conference organizers have asked speakers not to publicize the temporary schedule (for obvious reasons — hey it’s temporary), I can’t give the exact time and location yet. But if you want to hear about how you can replace your six-figure SAN with something much more open, much less locked-in and much less expensive, plan a trip to Berlin in early June.
As a preview, what target software will you be recommending? IET works wonderfully with heartbeat/pacemaker in my experience but newer versions of tgtd seems to outperform it by a good margin. SCST, of course, claims to outperform them all..
As far as the Linux-HA iSCSITarget and iSCSILogicalUnit agents are concerned, they happily support IET, TGT and LIO. I would expect SCST support to be added within a reasonable time frame.
Hi Florian,
any chance you could email me this talk?
thanks,
Tim
Tim, the whole talk is now available for viewing and download.
