Supported Storage List for LifeKeeper for Linux v9
Last updated: January 6, 2021
The table below is a list of LifeKeeper for Linux v9 supported storage and should be considered when configuring your environment.
About Supported Storage
Some types of storage used as shared storage in LifeKeeper require certification.
The following storage must be certified. Make sure the storage you plan to use is listed in the table below. Supported storage should be used for shared storage such as SCSI/FC/iSCSI/SAS that refer to the same data from multiple nodes for which LifeKeeper’s IO fencing with SCSI-2/3 Reservation is required.
Configurations that do not require certification
- NAS storage (requires the NAS Recovery Kit)
- All disk devices that make up data replication by DataKeeper (both built-in and external)
- Virtual disks on shared storage protected by the VMDK Recovery Kit on vSphere
- Storage which is used in the environment where all of the requirements below are satisfied:
- OS, hardware and platform has supported the storage
- The LifeKeeper SCSI reservation feature is disabled
- The fencing mechanism of LifeKeeper Quorum/Witness is configured
Note: If your shared storage meets the requirements above, it does not require SIOS certification.
Unsupported Hardware
Consumer storage that is connected via USB or IEEE1394 is not supported.
