[hobbit] TS - Is there a setup for an HA pair of servers

[d.tom.schmitt at L-3com.com]

Need linux 2.6 source on the machine to compile it.

Don't want to mess with the kernel anyway - keep it easy for someone
else to duplicate.

Any other ideas are gladly appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Have you looked at CARP?

Is there documentation for setting up a High Availability (HA) pair of
servers for xymon?

I have a Dell R-series server (new) and a Dell 1850 server that I can
use.

I have created a SCRIPT and RSYNC between the two servers that the 1850
watches the R-series.

If the R-series fails to answer, the 1850 will then get the files from
the RSYNC directory (edit a few items), install the hobbit-alerts.cfg
file and take over the primary responsibilities of alerting.

Both systems currently have to watch over all devices - not efficient.

I copy over the files from each server every hour - thus also having a
backup of each servers special files.

 

HA is the appropriate solution, is it possible?  Is there a write-up on
how to set it up?

 

Thanks,
