Hi all,
I'm happy to announce a new tutorial!
https://alteeve.com/w/2-Node_Red_Hat_KVM_Cluster_Tutorial
This tutorial walks a user through the entire process of building a 2-Node cluster for making KVM virtual machines highly available. It uses Red Hat Cluster services v3 and DRBD 8.3.12. It is written such that you can use entirely free or fully Red Hat supported environments.
Highlights; * Full network and power redundancy; no single-points of failure. * All off-the-shelf hardware; Storage via DRBD. * Starts with base OS install, no clustering experience required. * All software components explained. * Includes all testing steps covered. * Configuration is used in production environments!

This is sweet, I am in need for doing something for a SMB and nothing is out there that is affordable for small busineesses, will look into this.

Just wondering if you really want to retain the 'stick with 6.0 endorsement'

Doh! I meant to remove that with 6.2's release... Fixed. Thank you for catching that! :)

Thanks in turn for your work on CentOS. I would like to say that I have a good number of production clusters running CentOS, so I can confidently say that it is an excellent platform for this setup. :)
Thanks! This is great - I've been planning and am half-way though creating such a cluster, but I've been using Fedora15/16 as Centos6 wasn't out when I started. Any idea if this will work with Fedora as a host OS, or does it have to be RHEL/Centos? -----Original message----- To: CentOS mailing list centos@centos.org; CentOS virtualization centos-virt@centos.org; From: Digimer linux@alteeve.com Sent: Tue 03-01-2012 14:29 Subject: [CentOS-virt] New Tutorial - RHCS + DRBD + KVM; 2-Node HA on EL6 Hi all,

It should work, more or less, as-is on Fedora. Do note though that things are changing rapidly and that Fedora is already at the end of the 3.1 version, about to go 3.2, where EL6 is (and will remain) on 3.0.
Also, I can not recommend ever using Fedora in production as a server. The support cycle is far too short and the testing not nearly as extensive as EL6 proper. I've tested several times on Fedora, and inevitably run into gotchas.
So in short; I *strongly* recommend using an EL6 distro.
Cheers!

Finally, I found the time to do the test. I tried with 2 servers. node 1: IBM System x3650 M3, 4 Intel Xeon E5620, 16, 16 GB RAM, 3 disks 300GB each (RAID 5) node 2: IBM System x3650 M3, 2 Intel Xeon E5620, 4 GB RAM, 2 disks 600GB each (RAID 1) and...
It works! It's an excellent tutorial! Thank you for sharing this great job!
Best regards.
