Hello world, are there any "best practice" documents for deploying Spacewalk servers to multiple data centers in a way that clients will load-balance and failover on their own? I think there are a number of challenges here:
1. The actual loadbalancing of HTTP(S) requests. That should be easy to handle. Some care should be taken WRT certificates, but that shouldn't be a major problem. 2. The (Oracle) database. Should be pretty easy to, set up a physical standby and if the primary fails, switchover to the standby instance, promote it, edit rhn.conf, restart Spacewalk servers. 3. Actually getting the RPM files from one server to the other - rsync'ing them seems like the safest bet. 4. Taskomatic tasks - this one seems like the only real challenge: We don't want both spacewalk servers to e.g. scheduele automatic errata updates, or send reports. Did I miss anything important here? Has anyone already done a setup like this and would like to share his/her experience?
