[gpfsug-discuss] NSD access routes

Morning all,

Just a quick one about NSD access and read only disks. 

Can you have 2 NSD servers, one with read/write access to a disk and one with just read only access to the same disk? I know you can write to a disk over the network via another NSD server but can you mount the disk in read only mode to increase the read performance? This is all virtual/cloud based.

Is GPFS clever enough (or can it be configured) to know to read from the locally attached read only disk but write back via another NSD server over the GPFS network?

Cheers,
