Hi Florian, My bad for my first email. I meant "You recommend the use of *Heartbeat* over OpenAIS / Corosync" (combined with Pacemaker).

Thank you and I stay tuned for any updates from LINBIT regarding Heartbeat. Cheers, Romain 2009/11/17 Florian Haas <[email protected]> > On 2009-11-17 09:47, Stefan Seifert wrote: > > On Tuesday, 17.
