[Ocfs2-users] Not able to see OCFS disk on both nodes

[Graziano, Frank M - Raleigh, NC]

I have been trying to get OCFS2 set up on 2 linux boxes that I have so I
can install RAC.

 

What I want to do:

Server 1  I have a 200G drive I would like to share with server 2.

Install OCFS2 and run RAC using these two servers.

 

What I have been able to do:

I have been able to install OCFS2 successfully on both nodes.

Define a partition on Server 1 disk and format it using OCFS2.

Mount partition on Server 1.

 

What I have not been able to do:

Mount the partition mentioned above on server 2.

 

Questions:

I am not real clear on how the cluster has to be set up.

 

I thought I could:

1. Have the two server set up on my network configure so they could talk
to each other.

2. Install OCFS2 on both nodes.

3. Create a partition on server 1 with the OCFS2 tool.

4. Mount the disk on both servers.

 

I am thinking there is more I have to do to cluster the two servers so
they can share file systems before I install and configure OCFS.

 

Is there anyone who could tell me if:

1.       I can do this with a disk that is physically on one server or
do I have to have a separate networked storage device?

2.       I need something else other that OCFS.

 

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks, 
Frank Graziano Jr.
