Package ip address resolving active ip in serviceguard

[Srikanth Arunachalam]

Hi,

I want to understand the logic of package ip address resolving the actual ip of the active node, in serviceguard cluster.
Beyond the limitation of serviceguard, we want to setup an global ip that resolves the cluster ip of production centre or the fallback centre.
Our configuration of system is 2-node cluster in production centre and 2-node cluster in fallback centre. The oracle database has dataguard setup between the production centre and fallback centre. We need to ensure that if the production site itself is not in network, the fallback centre take over with its database.

Thanks,
Srikanth

My understanding is that you can use a hardware solution, such as Cisco PIX, or a hardware load balancer to accomplish this. (such as an F5)

I suppose that if your sites shared the same subnet, you could use a software solution, even something simple as DNS. (although automating DNS changes may not be trivial.

Hi Thomas,

Can you please give me more information on the hardware load balancer.
