Re: MySQL on iSCSI or IPSAN?
Hello Dan Nelson <dnelson@allantgroup.com>,
So, what will happen if I use iSCSI/Fiberchannel/NFS to share the
storage? Well, I am just worried about the chance of data loss in MySQL
3.23 two-way replication. I hope there is a share storage and 2 or more
write-only mysql servers could mount the device. In this case, I don't
worry about the raw data consistency and can balance the write-only
connections to mutiple mysql servers. Ideas?
I am looking a solution to implement load balance amount write-only
mysql servers yet keeping the data consistency.
