Hello list, I've been thinking about running OpenLDAP on our to-be GFS/RHCS based storage cluster. I was thinking I could run LDAP as a service with all of it's data on a shared disk so that if the node with that service goes down, another node can pickup the service. It would be nice to have failover support for LDAP without using replication to another OpenLDAP server. I've already done tests on a two node cluster and it seems to work fine but it "seeming" to work fine isn't much confidence, I must admit. I have the configuration, lock files and database all on shared storage. I've modified the LDAP init.d script on each node to start/stop LDAP since the config and lock files aren't in the default spot anymore. I'm a bit concerned about failures since I can't test that properly in a two-node cluster. I suppose what I'm really asking is this: Is running LDAP as a cluster service a particularly bad idea for any reason? -- Ryan Thomson Systems Administrator University Of Calgary, Biocomputing Phone: (403) 220-2264 Email: thomsonr@xxxxxxxxxxx -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
