We use LifeKeeper for Linux with the companion Steeleye Data Replication product to replicate UV. We also initially purchased the software from Zumasys around 4 years ago. I think that was prior to their reselling DoubleTake. IBM endorses both products for use with their xSeries Intel servers: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/x/solutions/infrastructure/highavailabilit y/ I just upgraded all the hardware and software last March, and we're now running UV 10.2.7 and RedHat ES 5.1 with LifeKeeper 6.2.1-4 on a pair of IBM xSeries 3650's. It's very stable. The linux version does require some scripting knowledge since a custom startup and shutdown script has to be written for any non-mainstream application (or mainstream ones if you don't want to pay extra). Any application can be protected, though. The other applications being protected on our UV cluster are samba, winbind, postfix, and cron. -John ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
