Dear,

We have SGI IS3500 Storage server and we have installed RHEL 6.2 with XVM and XFS. We have installed CA ARCserve Replication host based realtime replication software for Realtime byte level replications to other server in network for DR.

Now we are facing one problem that at the time of Realtime replication if we update any file on Master (Source) server, file size becomes 0 byte in master server the same file content becomes garbage and slave side also file size becomes 0 size.

Please help, we are struggling from last one month.

With warm Regards,

Dear,

We have SGI IS3500 Storage server and we have installed RHEL 6.2 with XVM and XFS. We have installed CA ARCserve Replication host based realtime replication software for Realtime byte level replications to other server in network for DR.

SGI storage product, SGI proprietary kernel modules - you probably should be sending email to your SGI support contact, not to the public upstream XFS development list....

Cheers,

Dave.

XVM is SGI proprietary software:

As it is, if you are using RHEL, you should talk to your Red Hat support contact. They'll be able to tell you if it's a known problem w/ XFS on RHEL and which version of RHEL 6.x it is fixed in.

Cheers,

Dave.

Jignesh,

If you have SGI XVM installed, then you most likely have the SGI supplied version of XFS installed as well.

If you do have the SGI supplied version of XFS installed, Red Hat support will redirect you to SGI for support.

Thanks,
Troy McCorkell
