Slackware iSCSI SAN Cluster

I have 2 VIA C7 1.5Ghz with 1Gb RAM machines… Each has two 20GB IDE hard drives and a 2TB SATA hard drive. These two PCs also have 2x 1GB copper NICs.

The goal of this project:

  1. setup ethernet bonding between the two NICs on each server
  2. setup drbd to sync data on both machines
  3. setup iSCSI on both machines

Current status:

  • Slackware 13.37 (32 bit) OS installed
  • bonding kernel app is installed (I have a SlackBuild for this)
  • creating custom kernel

Next steps

  • setup bonding scripts
  • install iSCSI (iet)
  • configure iSCSI
  • create drives
