Clustering

AN!Wiki :: How To :: Clustering

There are currently one paper and four tutorials in various stages of development that may help you in building a cluster.

Completed 2-Node Cluster Tutorials

• 2-Node Red Hat KVM Cluster Tutorial: This is the EL6 version of the 2-Node cluster tutorial.
  • In this tutorial, KVM is used in place of Xen and the RHCS is now version Cluster Stable 3 instead of Cluster Stable 2. Also, the network in this tutorial is upgraded to a fully redundant configuration.
• The Red Hat Cluster Service 2 Tutorial: The original, EL5 version of the 2-node cluster tutorial.

Stale Cluster Stuff

These are tutorials that I've moved away from but have not yet deleted as I'm referencing them to finish the active tutorials.

• 2-Node EL5 Cluster - The original tutorial I started all of this work on. It's out of date and shouldn't really be used.
• Two Node Fedora 14 Cluster - Abandoned when I got my Red Hat ISV and switched to RHEL 6. Still the most complete paper.
• Two Node Fedora 13 Cluster - Abandoned when Fedora 13 came out.
