Pls read the below link. It may also help you. Pls note that when you ssh to a serverB, try it as a normal user without a password. What is the Master node? Server A or Server B? http://www.howtoforge.com/mirroring_with_rsync ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Fajar Priyanto <fajarpri at cbn.net.id> Date: Jan 17, 2007 2:14 PM Subject: [CentOS] OOT: Advice on failover rsync setup To: CentOS list <centos at centos.org> Hi all, I have a task on setting up a cluster of 2 servers for providing ftp service. We use RH's Cluster suite. However the cluster setup is lack of shared network storage, so the /var/ftp/pub is mounted on each server. The cluster is set with Master and Slave configuration (when the master is down, slave serves. and when master is up again, slaves gives up the service back to master). We thought of using rsync to synchronize the two directory on each server. B -----> A with: rsync -avzgorp -e ssh root at serverB:/var/ftp/pub/ /var/ftp/pub/ A -----> B with: rsync -avzgorp --delete -e ssh /var/ftp/pub/ root at serverB:/var/ftp/pub/ (note: using --delete) We want those command to make sure that the most current and complete /var/ftp/pub is on A and we put those command on A only. So, are we on the right direction? Or is there any better way?
