To facilitate automatic failover you could take a look at heartbeat which is part of the Linux-HA project http://www.linux-ha.org/download/ -----Original Message----- From: taroon-list-bounces@redhat.com on behalf of Gary Mansell Sent: Thu 4/14/2005 9:13 AM To: nahant-list@redhat.com; linux-lvm@redhat.com; taroon-list@redhat.com; linux-poweredge@dell.com Cc: Subject: How to mirror or Replicate a primary server's data to asecondarymachine Hi, I am considering whether to go down the path of a dual server, manual failover solution for one of my RHEL fileservers. I would have two identical servers in two different machine rooms on our site and if the main server failed then I would manually reconfigure the secondary server with the primary server's IP address so that the client machines can carry on working. Can anyone recommend to me what I need to do to mirror the data across the two servers so that updates to the primary server are also made to the secondary server Thanks in advance for any help Regards Gary Mansell -- This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
