A question about SANs

Post by seanc217 »

On my production environment we have 2 servers. The primary one is hooked up to a SAN has space presented to it.

On my secondary node I do not have access to this SAN.

If I run a job with the 2 nodes where I am writing to this SAN resource, will my job fail?

What would be the best way to handle this, make sure anything that is writing to the SAN does not process anything on node2?

Would an NFS mount be a feasible solution?

I don't think it is due to speed issues.

Thanks!

Your job will fail if it tries to write to anything inaccessible.

NFS is totally contraindicated for scratch disk, and generally contraindicated for disk resource also.
