[hobbit] Solaris Hobbit for enterpise

[Dean Casey]

I use Veritas cluster running on Solaris. Simply made the Hobbit app and
log files permanent (not controlled by Veritas cluster) NFS mounts (from
our storage SAN); wrote a short start/stop script for Hobbit server &
Apache web server; put Hobbit & Apache; put Hobbit & Apache under
cluster control. Simple to implement, easy to maintain, works without
problems.

I have a semi HA solution in place although it's by no means a great
solution, it works which is the main thing.
 
I have 2 hobbit servers running and on the secondary (which is always
the same server) I have a perl script that runs every 1 minute (using
the hobbitlaunch.cfg file).  If it notes the primary server is down it
activates the secondary server as the primary alerting server and takes
over the alerting.  Once it detects the primary server is back up it
falls back to secondary mode.   
 
I intend this year to implement a hobbit mesh of 3 primary hobbit
servers each scanning it's own network subnet feeding data to each other
so any of the 3 can be alerting but only one at a time, I will probably
use SUN Cluster but havn't decided on the exact architecture for it yet
so this may change.

like http and https, ldap and ldaps the secure communication channels
are
usually requested by big organizaton.   I am happy to see hobbit and
hobbts
ports can be done via stunnel.

SNMP device monitoring cab be done via devmon perl script is also quite
exciting to me.


High Availability is the last solution I don't have. Without source code
changes in  hobbit server side
I am thinking of using Sun Cluster 3.2 plus AVS or having hobbit server
running as VMware sessions in VMWare with HA support.

I am wondering how other solaris hobbit users tackle this HA requirement
?
