You're making things MUCH more complicated than it should be, you know. For that simple goal, ONE of these should work: - vmware's VMHA, with shared storage - redhat cluster with shared storage, on phyisical nodes - redhat cluster + drbd, with local storage (synchronized using drbd) Don't try to mix those. At least not until you have the required knowledge and experience (which, from your post, I assume you don't). >>> >>> Current configuration is working fine since we have a single data store >>> but that's preventing the functionality of V-Motion in Vmware environment. That's because you mix solutions that are not designed to sit well together. If you simply use a mysql VM with shared storage and let vmware handel the HA, it will work and is a supported configuration. If you simply use Redhat cluster on physical machine and create either a mysql resource or a VM resource (kvm/xen running mysql) with shared storage, it will work and is a supported configuration. However you decide to use redhat cluster on top of vmware. It can work, but is not supported. >>> Is there any way we can have 2 identical copies of mysql database so if >>> master/primary node goes down another one takes over? Choose either VMHA or redhat cluster on physical machine. Your choice. -- Fajar -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
