Hi, I want to install a mysql cluster. But I want to ask which path do I have to follow? Or there is any special precautions that I have to take care before and after installing mysql and redhat cluster suite. My first impression is to install 2 node cluster it is better for me to use GFS and a iscsi solution for a cheaper solution. But I have understood from my readings that I can't setup an active-active mysql cluster using redhat cluster + GFS. Because one node must be locked for writing. Thus I think installing the second server for writing may be just for availability not for combining 2 machines power ( I mean using active-acvtive). Then I think to install 2 machines for write (one is standby) on a redhat cluster using GFS on a ISCSI system and adding a number of machines that use the same GFS partition for msqyl read operations is what I have to follow .. right? PS: By the way can you give me an URL that details mysql and redhat cluster + gfs installation? Or is there any ? -- Omer Faruk Sen http://www.faruk.net -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
