I'm looking into 2 node failover cluster and I'm bit confused here. >AVS can currently only replicate data out of a cluster. When AVS is >deployed in a cluster environment it asks for a shared storage location >to store its configuration DB. Question is whether one cannot fool it,
Isn't the point of AVS to replicate data from a primary node to a secondary node, where these nodes together form failover pair of servers, that is, a single cluster? > That's right!

Like Steve said, AVS requires a shared-disc for >failover between nodes, but that is not our goal with the "non-shared >ZFS/NFS HA" solution. I did talk with Jim Dunhan about it, but did not But isn't the point of your blog instructions at http://www.posix.brte.com.br/blog/?p=73 to circumvent this? When I look at the AVS demos at http://opensolaris.org/os/project/avs/Demos/, I don't see any mention of Sun Cluster. What exactly is the role of Sun Cluster such that it is required and there couldn't be an alternative mechanism for managing HA services such as Linux-HA, http://www.linux-ha.org/, which presumably can run on x86 Solaris? -- Maurice Volaski, mvolaski at aecom.yu.edu Computing Support, Rose F.
