I am pleased to announce that the HA Clusters community group has been approved by the OGB and is now live.
The scope of the community is implementations, ideas, innovations, and research around high-availability clusters on the OpenSolaris platform. This scope includes, but is not limited to, such areas as core technologies (eg. membership, quorum, filesystems), APIs, system administration, application support code (agents), test frameworks, and documentation. Although the focus is on clusters for high-availability, as opposed to HPC clusters, grids, or other cluster technologies, we recognize that there is often overlap between the technologies for different kinds of clusters, and will not discourage fruitful conversations and projects as long as they relate to high availability. The HA Clusters community is the home of Open High Availability Cluster, the open-source code base of Solaris Cluster, a high availability clustering solution from Sun Microsystems, Inc. The source code for the Sun Cluster Agents (data services) was released today.
