On Wed, Jun 16, 1999 at 10:25:33PM +0100,Karl Pielorz did mutter: On hardware raid, just a suggestion, we are using the OMNIServe product by TD Systems ( http://www.tdsys.com ). This allows you to have mutiple machines hooked to mutiple disks and share them accordingly. ( this does NOT mean that two machines can share the same filesystem!! ) You can however, do mirroring, and if one machine crashes, you can mount the partitions on the other machine and use that machine for fail over. Very nice little product. Some other things you can do with it that are REAL sexy.. if you have a set of cdroms, DVDs, and tapedrives you want to share, you can put them all on one bus .. and then connect up to 6 machines to them using scsi and they will all be available. There is built in locking for tape drives. - branson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Branson Matheson " If you are falling off of a mountain, Unix Systems Manager You may as well try to fly."
