Re: DFS-R like behaviour with two IBMi machines

Sometimes the correct tool for the job is the right tool.
IFS is not IBM i's forte, handling 8TB of IFS data seems a bit too much.
Some of my clients have actually moved the IFS data OUT of the IBM i...
Why the need to have IBM i do fileserving?

Best Regards,

Ok, projects with Autocad or Video I know use distributed NAS solutions :

DFS-R sounds good.

thats true

as said they are using DFS-R now which works very good. the
the access to the files must be gbit because they are tall (autocad,
images,...) so accessing the remote IBMi is not an option.

i dont see why nfs should help in syncing. can you clarify that. is there
a nfs technique which i am missing that syncs two shares?

As additional info: the solution hast to be IBMi only. No NAS, Cloud or
something because if IBMi only is not possible we stay with Microsft

DFS-R

I take it the "slow network" negates using an NFS share between the two
systems?

Subject: DFS-R like behaviour with two IBMi machines

Hi!

I have a question according the sync of a ifs filesystem folder between
two IBMi machines.

I would like to have a folder like /shares/public on two IBMi server in
two different locations with a slow network between them.
is ist possible to sync the /shares/public folder between the two

machines

bidirectionally so that the users on each of the to locations can work
with their local IBMi machine (via netserver share).

The solution should be comparable to Microsoft DFS-R (Distributes File
System - Replication)

I have not found a builtin solution. Remote-journaling does not help in
this case in my opinion because it does not apply the changes from
machine1 to machine2 and the other way around.

Greetings,
Franz
