Re: Can i use 2 nodes from a cluster?

[fosiul alam <expertalert@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi
Thanks, yes that what i always thought that if i want to use load balance then i will use hardware firewall + 2/3 hardware server, clustering is not for load balance. I only used clustering for high availability like MySQL

its only that some one made me confused and i thought i was missing something so had to make sure.

Thanks

Regards

You need a failoverdomain nofailback restricted for every node, and a
service for apache on every node, Untested relevant part of
cluster.conf:

 <rm>
                <resources>
                        <script file="/etc/init.d/httpd" name="httpd"/>
                </resources>
                <failoverdomains>
                        <failoverdomain name="only_node1"
nofailback="1" restricted="1">
                                <failoverdomainnode name="node1"/>
                        </failoverdomain>
                        <failoverdomain name="only_node2"
nofailback="1" restricted="1">
                                <failoverdomainnode name="node2"/>
                        </failoverdomain>
...
                </failoverdomains>
                <service domain="only_node1" name="apache1" recovery="restart">
                        <script ref="httpd"/>
                </service>
                <service domain="only_node2" name="apache2" recovery="restart">
                        <script ref="httpd"/>
                </service>
...
</rm>

Anyway, if you need the same services running in every node, you don't
need a cluster ;-)
