<font size="-1">Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
Suppose we want to build a new GPFS storage using SAN attached
storages, but instead to put metadata in a shared storage, we want
to use FusionIO PCI cards locally on the servers to speed up
metadata operation( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.fusionio.com/products/iodrive">http://www.fusionio.com/products/iodrive</a>) and
for reliability, replicate the metadata in all the servers, will
this work in case of server failure?<br>
<br>
To make it more clear: If a server fail i will loose also a
metadata vdisk. Its the replica mechanism its reliable enough to
avoid metadata corruption and loss of data?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
