I just put into production in a very large environment a Linux-HA setup with the current version of Heartbeat+Pacemaker. I had previously used Linux-HA MANY years ago when everything was pretty straightforward. THIS time, it took much longer than I expected to stand up the cluster. Mostly because of extremely poor documentation, compounded by the fact that googling around for solutions to various problems arent that helpful because of changes to the system that make many of those pages obsolete. I eventually learned enough to get my setup running and in the process there are feature changes that I'd like to see, but I can live with it as it is. What I REALLY need/want is complete and current documentation! It shouldnt take me half a week to get a simple failover setup running. -- Dr. Everett (Skip) Carter Phone: 831-899-0336 FAX: 831-394-5561 Taygeta Scientific Inc. e-mail: [email protected] 1995 Yosemite St WWW: http://www.taygeta.com Seaside, CA. 93955 _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
