Re: [Xen-users] 2 node - failover cluster



I think you may need to go back to the drawing board with your idea.  You say no NAS/SAN but you want shared storage???  NAS/SAN (i.e. shared storage) is a key part of live migration/failover in any virtualized (not just Xen) environment.

Hi,

we would like to implement 2 node failover cluster running mix of
Win/Linux machines with automatic failover function.


Specs:

2 identical servers with same hdd space and enough memory.
No NAS/SAN.
Windows 2008 and linux will be running in VM.


Requirements:
- shared storage mirrored betwen 2 hw nodes.
- PV drivers for windows 2008 must be available
- live migration of VM between nodes must be possible
- when one node crash, its VM should be automaticaly restarted on other node
- support for VLAN

What do you recommend?
Xen 4.0 (Windows PV drivers included?)
DRBD or glusterfs
how to manage VM (restart on other node in case of hw failure)

Thanks for your opinion

Peter Braun
