Gordon, Dave and David have given you a lot of information already, but I wanted to at least mention the "High Availability using clusters" chapter in the Distributions Redbook that Carlos Ordonez wrote. It covers the topic at a readable level and may help you assimilate some of what's been discussed here.
Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Wolfe, Gordon W Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 4:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: High Availability What kind of software do people run on Linux/390 for high-availability clustering? We're considering setting up two Linux servers on two different 390/IFL processors as printservers and want to be able to failover to the other processor when one fails or is taken down for service. And of course, we want to test it on our single IFL engine first. "Christmas is a funny season. What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks?"
