Hi, I am interested in any thoughts/experiences people have about using high-availability clustering solutions with LTSP. I will be scaling up our LTSP installation by at least a factor of two this summer and recognize the risks associated with a central application/login server.
I also see this as a primary obstacle to widespread use of LTSP in corporations. The idea of having 50 or more simultaneous angry users if the server hardware dies is disquieting. On the flip-side, the idea of having a robust high-availability solution that is transparent to the end users making an LTSP solution even more reliable would go a long way towards ending some of the most common reservations about running a terminal server. I have started looking around at high-availability clustering solutions to try and figure out the best way to proceed. Some of the things I have been looking at are: Linux high-availability project http://www.linux-ha.org/ Mission Critical Linux - Kimberlite http://www.missioncriticallinux.com/projects/kimberlite RedHat high availability server project http://ha.redhat.com/ Intermezzo distributed file system http://www.inter-mezzo.org/ Anybody have any experience with any of these (or other) high-availability projects?
