Hi all!
I am about to set up (need) a fail-over cluster for two machines. I have been searching the web for solutions and different options (as I am new to FreeBSD). I need ZFS (due to a number of things) and the most logical solution seems to be HAST. I saw this thread: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/21474/ and after reading the man page for hast.conf(5) I got a bit confused. I hope you can clear this out.
The post says that HAST should be at the "Bottom" and ZFS "on top" of HAST. In the man page for hast.conf(5) the option local <path> "This can be either GEOM provider or regular file".
To me this sound as if I can make a zpool and than use that directory in hast.conf. Create the same zpool in slave server and use the same in that local hast.conf.
I just wanted to ask before I start configuring the servers the wrong way and have to start all over again.
Many thanks in advance!
