Re: Cluster help!!

I just recently built a RedHat 5.5 cluster.  At a minimum, I think you
need to install cman and rgmanager.  They're found on the last ISO from
RedHat.  What type of cluster do you need?  Do you need the cluster for
high availability, or to increase throughput (or both)?  If you are
looking for high availability, then drbd will work.  I say that because
with drbd, you can only mount the partition on one server at a time, so
in a high availability cluster using drbd, the node currently in charge
would mount the partition, and the standby node would be mirroring all
data realtime.  If the main node fails, the secondary would then take
over and mount the partition.  If you have need of having both nodes
online simultaneously, you'll either need some shared storage, or you'll
need to do something externally to keep the partitions in sync.  A few
rsync commands run on a cron would do it, but of course the data
wouldn't be replicated in real time.
