Re: cluster

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

Re: cluster

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/

Re: cluster

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

Hi Bond,

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.

Re: cluster

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.

Re: cluster

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.

Re: 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.
