Hello,
I'm beginning to give up on making Linux-HA's heartbeat work for my environment (CentOS x86_64) and am wondering what other option have I got to help me:
- Use IPVS to maintain a cluster of virtual servers, either master/slave or
load-balanced. 2. Use DRBD in master/slave fashion to keep a home-grown application highly-available.
The first thing I stumbled upon is RedHat Cluster Suite ( http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/centos_linux_guides/centos_cluster_co...), from which I also saw some packages on my CentOS servers.
I've never heard of it before and am just starting to dig its docs, but if someone here can confirm/deny that this is a possible route to take it might save me some time or doubts.
Dump the cluste suite and use the LinuxVirtualServer.org packages. You won't have a gui, but it will be better in the long run. We're using that for quite a few clusters and handling about 30MBit/s on each of the clusters, I think it's around 10k concurrent connections.
