[gpfsug-discuss] metadata vdisks on fusionio.. doable?

[Salvatore Di Nardo]

Hello everyone,

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( http://www.fusionio.com/products/iodrive) and for 
reliability, replicate the metadata in all the servers, will this work 
in case of  server failure?

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?

Thanks in advance
Salvatore Di Nardo
