Hi Paul, I believe I had it on Lustre at least for a while, and that worked.
Other setups I've used: - NFS with the data on an external array, connected via SAS to multiple servers and multipathing configured; I believe we had it set up so that all servers could see the data, but only one had it mounted. We did failover manually, but there'd be no reason not to use heartbeat/pacemaker or similar. - data on local server disks, NFS, heartbeat/pacemaker & DRBD - NetApp appliances (cost money, but virtually no management headache, and works very well) Tina On Monday, 9 July 2018 15:48:20 BST Paul Paul wrote: > Hello, > > In order to use the shadow master functionality, the SGE local configuration > files have to be stored on NFS.
