1.6. Linux FailSafe Disk Connections

A Linux FailSafe system supports the following disk connections:

  • RAID support

    • Single controller or dual controllers

    • Single or dual hubs

    • Single or dual pathing

  • JBOD support

    • Single or dual vaults

    • Single or dual hubs

  • Network-mirrored support

    • Clustered filesystems such as GFS

    • Network mirroring block devices such as with DRBD

Note: Network mirrored devices are not discussed in the examples within this guide. However, the Linux FailSafe configuration items that are set for shared storage apply validly to network-duplicated storage.

SCSI disks can be connected to two machines only. Fibre channel disks can be connected to multiple machines.
