I am aware of that. :) I thought about something like optionally installing it from the DRBD-MC and starting the browser with it or something like that. > The main problem I see is the need for ssh login as root.

Well you can log in as a user if you have permissions for the commands that are required, but you probably know that... The SSH part of the code and the commands used to operate on Pacemaker are logically separated from the rest of the code, so it is quite easy to change this or offer a choice to use something else, if such need arises. > >>> Do you plan to implement support for the utilization functionality? >>> >> Yep, but it is not high priority at the moment. >> > > Too bad, since it is extremely useful for Xen environments in > particular.
