I tried the active-passive cluster but it turns out that for this cluster to work all the nodes are required to be in the same network (since it depends on cman service which only works (efficiently) for nodes in the same subnet). This doesn't work for us since we need the backup node to be present in another network. Is there some other way we can achieve this and solve the fail-over problem mentioned earlier in this thread.
Thanks, Terance.
