Subject: [Linux-cluster] GFS configuration help

Hi,

Need your help for my proposed setup below.

1. machine1 is the host server that is connected to the SAN, mounts the
filesystem. This machine has read-write capability on the filesystem.
2. machine2, machine3, machine4 etc..  are the servers that mounts the
same filesystem with read only capability. they are connected to a fiber
switch.
3. future machines will be connected to the switch to mount the same
filesystem as read only.

Upon reading various docs, it says that i have to configure clustering?
I'm not sure if that is needed in my setup. All i want to do is to
emulate NFS capability, but instead of using the network, my machines
are connected directly to the SAN. I might be wrong?

Btw, i'm running RH ES 3.0 and has the GFS rpms from Redhat. I've
installed it fine but I have no idea on how to configure it. 

I hope you can help me with any information you can give.

Regards,
Deks
