If you want RH-supported cluster, you should buy RH Cluster Suite http://www.redhat.com/solutions/clustersuite/

yes, you can build all sorts of clusters, depending on your needs. If you are willing to pay, you could go with Vitaly' advice. But I suggest to also examine http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=108
and http://www.rocksclusters.org/

Note that the Centos cluster is a recompile of Red Hat's without the license fee.

Also the following applications scripts are available at no charge for quick implementation: Apache, MySQL, NFS, PostgresSQL, Samba, Tomcat and Sendmail available from the high availability section on the HP software website. Also available are solutions for Oracle and SAP.

Everything depends of the type of cluster that you want to create. You can use Red Hat Cluster Suite for failover and load balance clusters. Is a separate software required. You can also use Red Hat GFS to allow the simultaneous access to a shared storage by more than one node. This requires a shared storage. Before acquiring the software, ensure that you have all hardware required, like fence devices, Ethernet, shared storage, device namiing, etc. See the Red Hat Cluster Suite manual.

Hello,

try HP MC/Serviceguard or SteelEye Lifekeeper. Please keep in mind that a cluster is much more then a little bit software and two server. ;) Maybe take a look at the HP DL380 G4 Packaged Cluster.

Shalom,

steeleye may not be certified with the 2.6 kernel and RH 4.

Most of the material I've seen show its a legacy 2.4 kernel solution.
