Virtual storage


I want to test Redhat Cluster on Redhat5 but
I didn't have a storage for testing and I have one Server for testing also.
I'm finding software for testing cluster.
Please, suggest me.

"Suggest you" what? I don't understand what you're asking or looking for.

If you need hardware, I suggest you go purchase it.

Either buy the hardware and perform the test, or contract with someone to supply a tested system.

Try iSCSI if you need a cheap shared storage. For testing the Red Hat Resource Group Manager you don't need shared storage at all. That is only needed for Global Filesystem.

Sorry,I made you confuse.
I meant software such as vmware that can use share storage by software.
I don't sure whether VMware can use share storage or not.

See the post above by brianmcgee. VMWare won't get you a shared file system, it'll just let you put multiple systems/OS'es on one set of hardware.

Even if you used virtualization, you will still need some sort of storage that supports selective storage presentation.

i test our oracle 10g RAC setup on 1 single HP BL25 blade machine using RHEL5 U2 virtualization [1] for cluster nodes and iscsi-target [2] for virtual storage.
i tried posting a howto in the LQ Answers/Tutorials but i'm not sure what happened to it. if you are interested, i can send you the steps. just send me a PM.

and just to add, most of the stuff i did was based from mr jeff hunter's howto [3] using rhel 4.x and openfiler [4].

[1] http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red...ion/index.html
[2] http://iscsitarget.sourceforge.net/
[3] http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub...2_iscsi.html#8
[4] http://www.openfiler.com/
