Hi Michael, I wonder - what test scenario did you run on Linux-HA? I tried to used it for floating IPs and cluster resources, it gives the illusion that it works ok but when you start testing it a bit more you see catastrophes. I even submitted a few bugs to their team and one response that I got

Well, you can not trust an HA system that either works great or fails bitterly :) Someone told me that it was primarily designed for 1+1 systems, but I don't believe it can do this task as well. On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 4:04 PM, Maxim Veksler wrote: > On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 9:01 AM, Itay Donenhirs

Hi all - If all you want to do is float an IP, Linux-HA will work, but a simpler solution could be, say, keepalived and vrrpd. I you would like to also manage cluster resources, Linux-HA is your best solution. I would agree that it has a steep learning curve, and it's a pain, but it does exactly

Hi Folks, I would recommend not using Linux-HA for any means. I had very bitter experience with it. It is implemented in a very complicated and hard to debug and configure. It's also very poorly tested. I first didn't believe it myself and thought I was doing something wrong, but after some email

Hi First, the problem is not an IP, but the mac-ip mapping and ARP caching strategies. Second, don't use ping. Third, do use project 'heartbeat' and 'fake'. They provide what you need. M ---MAV Marc. Volovic +972-54-467-6764 m...@swiftouch.com Sent from my iPhone On Jun 16, 2009, at 6:

i have two linux machines, that are running on the same LAN. i would like to find a way to set HA IP. i was thinking on creating virtual ip that will ride on the exiting eth. lets say 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 and the VIP will be 172.16.4.1 both will run an infinite loop of:while (ping 172.16.4.1) do .
