[Freeipa-users] Re: Freeipa / IDM on a VM

2018-01-23 Thread Jeff Goddard via FreeIPA-users
Not sure if this meets you definition of cluster or not but all of our IdM
servers are VMs. We have a multi-master set with standard replication. I
have IdM servers 2 in one location with 1 serving as DNS CA, LDAP, etc and
a second serving SMB shares and backing up the LDAP services. Across
private links in to another location/facility we have a second master with
the full suite of services installed and used. We do not use AD so the
level of complexity compared to mixed environments is low but everything
works fine for us.

We do, kinda. In our Cultural Heritage Cluster, our FreeIPA server (only 
one at the moment) is in vmware vsphere, all other servers in the 
cluster (apart from the datanodes of course) are on oVirt(which I can 
recommend). Nothing in vmware or oVirt is dependent on FreeIPA, so there 
will be no chicken and egg scenario.

All we have to do in a full DR is to reestablish the NFS servers that 
holds the vm images and then we can start up the VM's. These NFS servers 
are backed up by a backup system that is also not dependent on FreeIPA 
or even DNS.
