Chapter 1. GFS Overview

You can configure GNBD servers for GNBD multipath. GNBD multipath allows you to configure

multiple GNBD server nodes with redundant paths between the GNBD server nodes and storage de-

vices. The GNBD servers, in turn, present multiple storage paths to GFS nodes via redundant GNBDs.

With GNBD multipath, if a GNBD server node becomes unavailable, another GNBD server node can

provide GFS nodes with access to storage devices.
The following sections provide examples of how GFS can be deployed to suit your needs for perfor-

mance, scalability, and economy:

•

Section 1.2.1

Superior Performance and Scalability

•

Section 1.2.2

Performance, Scalability, Moderate Price

•

Section 1.2.3

Economy and Performance

Note

The deployment examples in this chapter reflect basic configurations; your needs might require a

combination of configurations shown in the examples. Also, the examples show GNBD (Global Net-

work Block Device) as the method of implementing the VersaPlex architecture.

1.2.1. Superior Performance and Scalability

You can obtain the highest shared-file performance when applications access storage directly. The

GFS SAN configuration in Figure 1-1 provides superior file performance for shared files and file

systems. Linux applications run directly on GFS clustered application nodes. Without file protocols

or storage servers to slow data access, performance is similar to individual Linux servers with direct-

connect storage; yet, each GFS application node has equal access to all data files. GFS supports over

300 GFS application nodes.
