Another alternative that we are examining is using OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster File System 2) and iSCSI for the shared storage with Heartbeat for service management. This combination looks to be a bit "lighter" than the Cluster Suite and GFS, but I'm hoping to confirm or disprove that impression this summer in my "copious free time".

ocfs isnt really worth spending time on anymore. iirc, even oracle no longer support an ocfs/ocfs2 based backend store.

might as well consider gpfs ( the cost per machine isnt that high, and there is reasonable assurances that it would work ).

/me is still thrashing out gfs2 though, and conga! and clusterlvm!
