<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div>Hi All,<div><br></div><div>We have a requirement for a common replicated filesystem between our two datacentres, mostly for DR and patching purposes when running Weblogic clusters.</div><div><br>
</div><div>For those that are not acquainted, Weblogic has a persistent store that it uses for global transaction logs amongst other things. This store can be hosted on shared disk (usually NFS), or in recent versions within an Oracle DB. Unfortunately, some of the products that we use, have to use the disk option.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Ordinarily I'd just follow Oracle's guidelines and use an Enterprise NAS head and NFS, however the NAS head we have at my present role, has rather lacklustre replication granularity (every 5mins), which just won't cut it, so we're looking at alternatives, including throwing more cash at the storage vendor.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The Linux team here use GlusterFS to host and replicate their Puppet infrastructure between the datacentres. They like and understand it, and say it's got good performance, so we were wondering if we could also leverage Gluster for the persistent data stores that can't be DB hosted.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Wondered if anyone has tried this kind of thing with Weblogic or any other JEE app server before, and if it is feasible. We'll obviously test this extensively, but before we do spend time and resource, we're just after some degree of confidence that it may work at all.</div>
