  • 1.  Samba CTDB on AIX 7.2

    Posted Thu November 25, 2021 12:04 AM
    I have successfully installed Samba 4.14.4.2 with CTDB on AIX 7.2 TL5 on top of GPFS .
    due to couple of issue which are observed my first question is if what is scope of functionality CTDB on AIX,
    here i thinking if samba can manage my Public IP for example takeover IP between nodes ?

    CTDB functionality in samba is primarily developed and tested in Linux --> https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/CTDB_and_Clustered_Samba

    When we enabled CTDB in AIX Toolbox Samba, we tested some basic things but managing public IP addresses pool is not part of that.

    The basic configuration in the above mentioned document was tested. 
    https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Basic_CTDB_configuration

    You can try CTDB on a GPFS-clustered Samba but we have never tested that.
