20TB Openfiler 2.99 Cluster With DRBD, Pacemaker and Corosync

http://www.bauer-power.net - I have just finished setting up my Openfiler failover cluster following the instructions here: http://ninjurl.us/3vqpqb

It is made from two SuperMicro SC826TQ's with 22TB each. I have each node setup using hardware RAID 5, and then the two nodes are mirrored with the DRBD, Pacemaker and Corosync setup for redundancy. Total cost was about $12,000. Compare to a more expensive SAN solution like NetApp :-)

Note that you cannot test failover until drbd is done syncing. Since I have 20TB for my data partition, it will take 24+ hours to sync.
