OCFS and MSA500G2

Will OCFS work with MSA500G2. I dont see it on any compatibility matrix. Is OCFS supported, if not will it work.

Thanks

Re: OCFS and MSA500G2

Hello,

the underlaying hardware is all the same. OCFS2 needs a shared block device. That can be a MSA500, a EMC² Symmetrix, an XP or an VMware OpenFiler Appliance acting as a iSCSI Target.

If you create a logical drive on the MSA500, you must present it to all connected hosts.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Patrick
