Sharing Directory across VMs (redhat)

[Rob Lindsey]

I am designing a new system for our company and we are going with multiple VMs.  I want to be able to share TCL scripts across all of the VMs.  I was thinking this:  I could have a NFS directory that I could put the “master” site on and share the master site across all 3 VMs.

Has anyone ever tried “sharing” a single master site across multiple VMs?

Just thinking out loud via a forum.

TIA

Hey Rob,

We have multiple VM’s and basically, we we do, is copy any changes over to the “master” vm via rscync. (one that we arbitrarily chose)

We’re on 5.8.5 but upgrading to 6.1.  So no Boxes currently.

When new code is deployed, and after verification its good… we “sync.sh” the files….

Any changed files are uploaded to the master…… and the script calls “sync.sh” on the other VMs and it pulls down any changes from the master.  All via rsync.

We do filesystem sharing using Samba and CIFS.  Have not shared operational elements of Cloverleaf, Cloverleaf to Cloverleaf, but we do access the cloverleaf tree with clients over CIFS.  No reason why it wouldn’t work.
