Shared filesystem using OCFS

[satish]

Dear erman,

If we consider OCFS and shared Application filesystem,will both nodes have dedicated file system? and if system failure brought down primary node,can secondary node run without any mapping of disks at os level as we do incase of nfs?

Thank you

If you need  both the "High availability" and "Load Balancing" on EBS Apps Tier, my recommendation is, "using a non-shared Application Filesystem, where the apps nodes may have their own dedicated application file systems." (you can also consider OCFS and shared Application filesystem)

So basically, you should consider using a cluster filesystem to have such a shared application filesystem environment. This filesystem may be OCFS, ACFS and so on.. However; you need to configure that filesystem perfectly.. We don't want a misconfigured filesystem to effect our EBS environment.. Keep this in mind..
