For openSUSE, you can find packages in the network:ha-clustering:Factory repository, built for Factory, 13.1, and Tumbleweed. For SLES 11 (latest version is Service Pack 3), we indeed make a subscription available for purchase: SLE HA 11 SP3. I'll spare you the marketing pitch, but it includes a bit more than just pacemaker, but also matching kernel packages for OCFS2/DLM/cLVM2, support, etc. And a fair bit of testing goes into making sure they all work together; something that is sometimes a wee bit challenging for new users when they try compiling from scratch. > I should look at > SLES11: 1.1-plugin > But it does not match any of the description: > Pacemaker 1.1 for Corosync 2.x and crmsh This is the one most closely matching what's included in SLE HA 11, even though that is based on the stable corosync 1.4.6 version. But SLE HA 11 also includes its own documentation pack. > Does this mean I need to purchase "SUSE High Availability > Extension<https://www.suse.com/products/highavailability/>"? You can of course install 3rd party software on SLES 11 yourself, either by downloading it from somewhere or self-compiling. This will only affect the support statement for SLES itself when you start loading 3rd party kernel modules. On the other hand, since it pays my salary, I really would like you to run SLE HA ;-) Regards, Lars -- Architect Storage/HA SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes." -- Oscar Wilde _______________________________________________ Pacemaker mailing list: Pacemaker@oss.clusterlabs.org http://oss.clusterlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/pacemaker Project Home: http://www.clusterlabs.org Getting started: http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/Cluster_from_Scratch.pdf Bugs: http://bugs.clusterlabs.org
