Then God must answer my prayers, because I have been using some simple heartbeat v1/DRBD clusters for YEARS, for critical services like DNS. They have worked flawlessly and always failed over properly when individual servers developed problems or had to be taken offline for maintenance. I work in an environment where four or five nines are not required. As I see it, heartbeat v1 is only suitable in situations where you have a small number of resources, and the resource start order can be defined strictly linearly. In those cases, it works quite well, and I have a number of cases like that. This is my last contribution to this thread. It is obvious that some people have already decided that hearbeat v1 can't ever work. I am obviously not going to change anyone's mind, and the obvious fact is that you can no longer get any support for running heartbeat v1. I continue to use v1 on some clusters because it is already configured and working and has done what I needed it to do. My newer clusters are more complicated and therefore do use pacemaker. My old clusters are due to be replaced with virtual machines that run on the new clusters, so I expect in a few months I will have completely phased out v1 anyway. --Greg _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
