UNSC-117 Posted December 4, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 4, 2015 Can we make a cluster out of bare metal system ex. 3 identical system to create a cluster is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbv3000 Posted December 4, 2015 Share #2 Posted December 4, 2015 provided the setup meets the synology rules then I dont see why not https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledg ... orials/585 however, remember that XPE/DSM is a 'fun' project, its not a business/production grade solution so why would need HA? but it could still be 'fun' to setup HA to know how it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNSC-117 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted December 5, 2015 Not trying to do a HA. if not a cluster of 3 or more systems meaning ig i have 3 identical system and all have lets say 5 bay 2tb on each bay a total of of 10tb on each server. once cluster is created it would be 30tb in total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbv3000 Posted December 5, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 5, 2015 Ok I get it. I've not seen anything in DSM or Synology that talks about creating a single volume across several DSM Servers, its a clever idea though. I guess it would be emulating a diskstation with 2 expansion units or 'master' DSM and two 'slaves' However, thinking of the costs/complexity, it might be cheaper and easier to setup a single server with say a 12 drive system of 3tb drives?

Benoire Posted December 5, 2015 Share #5 Posted December 5, 2015 DSM is not a cluster based system. It can do High Availability which is different as you've pointed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNSC-117 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted December 6, 2015 it is cheaper but having 3 systems makes a powerful server since every single system will have its on cpu and ram . sad tough is not possible Ok I get it.
