2016.0. "Is shared access to file systems on shared SCSI possible ?" by COL01::VSEMUSCHIN (Duck and Recover !) Tue Apr 22 1997 16:24

    Is it possible to configure the file system on shared SCSI bus to
    be acessed from both cluster nodes ? Or the only possibility would 
    be to configure that system as service and access that service from
    another node ? Which advantage could one have of such a cluster if 
    the file sharing is impossible ?
    
    Any hints are appreciated (even RTFM's, when Manual and Chapter are
    mentioned)

2016.1... NO ...BACHUS::DEVOSManu Devos NSIS Brussels 856-7539Tue Apr 22 1997 16:3710
    No Seva,
    
    You cannot share a filesystem with DEcsafe. The Unix Buffer cache makes
    that impossible. You can use the filesystem in one system and NFS
    export it to other system if your application support to run on NFS.
    
    You should wait for TruCluster wave 4 to see the "Cluster filesystem"
    coming and then you will need the Memory Channel.

2016.2still one questionCOL01::VSEMUSCHINDuck and Recover !Wed Apr 23 1997 03:559
    Thanks, Manu
    
    ... and if I understood you correctly: I should mount filesystem on
    shared SCSI on one cluster node only. Then, if this node fails, on
    another node should the script be triggered, that mounts it and exports
    it as NFS. Is it correct ?

2016.3check out ASE NFS serviceALFAM7::GOSEJACOBWed Apr 23 1997 04:447
    re .2
    Yes that's the whole idea of an ASE NFS service. If you configure this
    type of service for your filesystem you don't need to write your own
    failover scripts to migrate the disk, mount the filesystem and export
    it.
