There is plenty of very good guides and links to them were posted here several times. Guys, you know, all of that sounds like nonsense. Just consider these numbers: 1. Price for Oracle RAC in Enterprise Edition in $23000 per processor. 2. Price for Oracle classes for Oracle RAC (5 days) is $3000 Prices for Veritas VCS clustering software not much cheaper. Prices for NetApp appliance are in the same range. Here you get an amazing product for free and then start whining that it takes a week to get it deployed, or start complaining that it's impossible to get something reliable out of it. It's a nonsense. There are thousands of installation of Heartbeat/Pacemaker around the world. So yes, it is possible to build a reliable system. And since when spending a week for building a complex clustered computing system is considered as "too long". But Ok, your time is precious and you can't waste a week. Then hire somebody who can do it for you. LinBit, Novell, RedHat all provide professional services and commercial support. Her me, if you don't like them :-) But yet again it won't be cheap. And last but not least. It's an Open Source world. You don't like something - then fix it. You don't like documentation? Fine, learn the product and write your own set of documentation and share it with others. Open Source community will really appreciate that. But please, please stop whining and insulting people who puts their time to make something that is really good and that you can get for free.
