Hello all, I'm just starting the task of learning OHAC with the aim of setting up a HA Cluster using Amazon EC2 instances in separate 'availability regions'. I intend to use remotely synced EBS volumes in each region in order to have hot-standby failover times.
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this or have any comments/insight? My first concern is will I actually be able to install OHAC? When setting up AVS for remote volume mirroring, I found it would work with AMI images where AVS was pre-installed (2008.05 ami-41e70328), but not on images where AVS needed to be manually installed (2008.11 ami-7db75014). This is because installing requires changes to the AKI kernel and ARI ramdisk images, which the public are not yet able to tinker with. See http://blogs.sun.com/ec2/entry/opensolaris_2008_11_on_amazon#comments Does anyone know if this might be a show stopper for OHAC as well? Thanks, David -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
