Also to recap, for the LinuxHA release shipped by a major SLES release,
Novell pushes the code through its automated cluster testing process.
Iirc, ship criteria for SLES10 was something like an 8 node cluster,
running in a lab with hundreds of client desktops, reconnecting to e.g. 
a Samba service intentionally failing over from one server to another
continuously for many days. This was one of a few large scale tests, in
addition to various functional tests that exercise LinuxHA integration
with e.g. OCFS2, iSCSI etc, on smaller clusters run by feature teams who
test additional services in HA clusters. 

Jfyi fwiw ;-)

Hth,
