Hi I'm looking for a way to mirror data between to servers. Where both servers have the same services configured but only some are running on the one and the remaining are running on the other .. Should one server fail all the services become active on the one server , and once the issue is resolved and the server is back online the services are split up again. This Is easy enough with HA etc.. But I need both servers to mirror each others data, in real time so should one go down the other is ready to take over, and the process is transparent to the clients / users. And when the failed server is started up again the data is resynchronized then the services are brought on line again. Eg server 1 provides smtp , pop3 , imap server 2 provides mysql, http, dns If server 1 fails or goes off line server to takes over all roles mysql, http, dns and smtp , pop3 , imap If server 2 files or goes off line server to takes over all roles smtp , pop3 , imap and mysql, http, dns so both servers have to be up to date with each others data, when the off line server comes back online It needs to syn the difference for all the services that may have changed mysql, http, dns, smtp, pop3, imap and thus both servers resume normal services. Can ocfs2 do this ? -- Gregory Machin CT-Net www.ct-net.org greg_at_ct-net.org phone : +27 12 379 3497 fax : +27 12 379 4113 Cell : +27 72 524 8096 humans do not use the address below its for trapping spam. spamtrap imasucker_at_ct-net.orgReceived on 2008-04-17 06:59:44
