Direct Attached Storage (DAS) hardware can be connected to server via Ide, Sata, Sas, Scsi or Usb infrastructure. It has access on Block level. It is different than SAN because it has different storage device in its local and these storage devices cannot be used as Cluster Share Volume (CSV).
Storage Area Network (SAN) compatible devices access storage devices at Block level over SCSI, Fibre Channel, ATA over Ethernet, ISCSI or HyperSCSI protocols.
Network Attached Storage (NAS) storage devices run over network likewise SAN devices. The difference between them is file level not block level. CIFS and NFS are the most widely known protocols.
Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) feature that comes in Windows Server 2008 R2 enables us to install Active – Active cluster structures. In the previous versions, only one node can access the sources and it takes all the sources in case of a problem. On the other hand all nodes can access the sources with Windows Server 2008 R2 CSV. Even, it continues to use NTFS while doing this.
There are many available solutions to crease a shared disc structure which is needed for Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV). However, instead of such expensive solutions for test environment; it will be beneficial to use free and easy configurable applications such as openfiles, freenas or starwind.
Windows Server 2008 R2 ile birlikte gelen Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) özelliği ile birlikte artık Aktif – Aktif cluster yapilari kurmak mümkün. Daha onceki sürümlerde sadece bir node kaynalara erisebiliyor ve herhangi bir sorun oldugun tum kaynakları uzerinde alirken Windows Server 2008 R2 CSV ile tum nodelar kaynaklara erisebiliyor. Ustelik bunu yaparken NTFS kullanmaya devam ediyor.
Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) icin gerekli olan paylastirilmis disk yapisini olusturmak icin donanimsal pekcok cozum mevcut. Ancak test ortami icin bu pahali cozumler yerine openfiler, freenas yada starwind gibi ucretsiz ve cabuk konfigure edilebilen uygulamalari kullanmanin bize yararlari olacaktir.
