Hello list, I caught some of Alan Robertson's talk on linux-ha earlier this month in San Francisco, and was fascinated by the possibilities. I have a basic setup here with 2 machines providing a high availability mysql database, or at least that is the goal. It's up and running but still seems a bit temperamental, so I think I need to make the rules a bit more sophisticated.
My main question is this: If we have a 2-node cluster, which will always be a 2-node cluster, is there any benefit to using v2 semantics rather than making it a simple v1 cluster? I'm thinking in particular as regards the scenario where one of the boxes suffers a catastrophic failure, and how quorum would deal with that. Or, would it better to just add a 3rd box that hosts no services, but merely acts as part of the cluster for management/quorum purposes? Forgive my naivety, I'm still scrounging through bits of documentation, so if my questions reflect a profound misunderstanding of some basic tenets, a clue-by-four would be gratefully received. I appreciate your insights - Joe _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
