<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So ladies and gentlemen. I am looking
for a bit of insight/input/advice/rants/raves and/or general
insanity
that may or may not lead me to the solution I am searching for.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Here is the situation.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I have a small farm of ProxMox
servers.
Standard installs (Debian Lenny based Host systems with mixed
Containers). As per standard install the largest portion of the
drive
is handed over to /dev/mapper/pve-data which is mounted under
/var/lib/vz. Standard configuration of OpenVZ and it's containers
are in /etc/vz.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I have a few QNAP T412 ARM based NAS
boxes installed and waiting with 12 TB per box on a private net
connected to the ProxMox boxes on their second NIC. Backup PC is
installed and backing up all host systems and Containers
separately.
On the QNAP box the data is stored in /share/MD0_DATA.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The challenge is getting the data on
the Host systems mirrored to the QNAP boxes.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Host node --> QNAP node</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">/etc -->
/share/MD0_DATA/Host/etc</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">/var/lib/vz -->
/share/MD0_DATA/Host/vz</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Gluster was the first solution that
went through my mind. The problem is that, from what I have been
able
to piece together, Gluster has problems with ARM based systems.
How
would you go about getting this setup working? And be advised,
rsync
is not an option unless you can couple it with something that
catches
the changes on the systems (iwatch maybe) and can trigger an rsync
update of that/those file(s) as soon as it's changed.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">If you need more information just let
me know.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Have fun with the challenge,</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Chuck</p>
