Hello there,
I would like to implement an LVS in my organization. The topology is as
follows:
(i) On the highest level, there is a storage (possibly RAID5) which will
store all my databases of images and important information. (LINUX)
(ii) Under it, I will want to have a load-balancer and 2 servers (one as
FOS) to handle the clients' requests. (LINUX)
(iii) Below the 2 servers, I have to use a machine running the MS SQL
engine. (WINDOWS)
(iv) The lowest level will have the clients fetching and sending the
information to the storage through the SQL engine.
My question is, can I use samba to do the task in (iv)? I'm afraid that
the SQL engine used will not be able to be recognized and thus, the data
may not be able to be fetched or sent correctly. These are mission
critical data. The reason that I want to use Linux LVS is of course, it
is reliable, stable and cost-effective. But, I will still have to
retain the MS SQL Server since the application used on the lowest level
requires this.
Pls help and thanks in advance for your time.
Sincerely,
Sandra
