 Description   

ldev.conf appears to specify a primary and single failover node (http://doc.lustre.org/lustre_manual.xhtml#dbdoclet.zfssnapshotConfig).

 

However, It's not necessarily the case that resources are limited to a primary and failover pair; there may be more placements than two.

 

For example, Exascaler HA is configured such that an OST could be mounted on any of  four available VMs.

 

It seems that we should expand the ldev.conf such that multiple failovers could be listed after the primary.

Concern here is what happens to snapshot commands if one of the lustre targets cannot be found due to it being mounted on a different node than what's listed in primary / failover. This appears possible for everything besides the MGS which is currently constrained to two VMS.
