Well, heartbeat doesn't require pacemaker. Pacemaker doesn't require

I take it that's because Heartbeat can still use a "v1" style
configuration (though the terms "v1" and "v2" may add to
the confusion - people tend to want to use the "latest/newest"
version so perhaps see "v1" as inferior)?
It _is_ inferior.
Its easier to configure because it doesn't do even half what v2 can.
V1 lets you define groups that run here or there... of course the
configuration can be mastered in a nanosecond.
Maybe "simple configuration" for non-crm clusters and "advanced
configuration" for those with a CRM (Pacemaker or
otherwise)? OK, so "simple" may be a bit lightweight, but using an
haresources file is a lot easier than getting to
grips with the XML! :)
Its not _that_ hard. 90% of it is cut&paste and changing a few values.
You'd think we were requiring people to learn Latin or something.
But we've been making the XML easier to read anyway and Dejan has just
completed an awesome CLI tool (totally devoid of XML) for 1.0 that
makes configuring the cluster a walk in the park.
