    Hi all -

    I posted about using firewire for clustering practice a couple of days
    ago. It turns out that this apparently requires a special, very expensive
    firewire solution.

    So I want to play around with clustering (as in high availability
    clustering a la Red Hat Cluster Suite, not computational clustering) at
    home so that I can become more proficient. The problem is, I don't want
    to buy a multi-thousand dollar SAN for my house. I wanted to find a way
    to do clustering on the cheap. I am not sure what path to take, so I am
    going to toss it to the list to see if anyone has any suggestions. I am
    totally open to older/used equipment.

    >From what I've been told, I need a storage device which is multi-host
    aware, so plain old firewire or even SCSI JBOD won't do. I've been
    looking at the specs at
    http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/cluster/hardware/.

    I'm leaning towards VMWare at this point, but I'd rather do it for real
    than in virtual machines.

    Any pointers?

    Thanks!
    Thomas
