5 host network configurations for MLAG
Host network configurations for MultiChassis Link Aggregation (MLAG, also referred to as dual-attach or ‘high availability’) can vary from host OS to host OS, even amongst Linux distributions. The most recommended and robust method is to use Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which is supported on most host operating systems natively. Host bonds or bonding refers to a variety of bonding methods, but for the purpose of this article it will refer to LACP bonds. The terms etherchannel, link aggregation group (LAG), NIC teaming, port-channel and bond can be used interchangeably to refer to LACP depending on the vendor’s nomenclature. For the sake of simplicity, we will just call it bonds or bonding. This post will take your through the steps for host network configurations for MLAG across five different operating systems.
Why LACP? LACP is a IEEE standard that has been available since 2000 known as 802.3ad. This makes a highly interoperable standards approach to bonding that can work across many network vendors and host operating systems. LACP is superior to static configuration (also referred to bond-mode ON) because there is a control protocol keeping the bond active. This means failover is predictable and automatic. This is also Continue reading
How To Do Stateless Compute, Clustered Storage Like A Hyperscaler
There are so many companies that claim that their storage systems are inspired by those that have been created by the hyperscalers – particularly Google and Facebook – that it is hard to keep track of them all.
But if we had to guess, and we do because the search engine giant has never revealed the nitty gritty on the hardware architecture and software stack underpinning its storage, we would venture that the foundation of the current Google File System and its Colossus successor looks a lot like what storage upstart Datrium has finally, after many years of development, brought …
