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.

In Progress Cluster Tutorials

2x5 Scalable Cluster Tutorial: Building a private cloud on open source software.

Incomplete Tutorials

These are old or abandoned tutorials. They should not be followed or used as references in any way.

EL5 - Cluster Stable 2

TLUG Talk: An Introduction to Clustering - A talk on Cluster Stable 2 clustering to the Toronto Linux Users Group.

EL6 - Cluster Stable 3

RHCS Stable 3 Tutorial - Multinode VM Cluster - In Development: This will be a tutorial that shows how to build a dedicated 2-Node highly availably SAN cluster backing a highly available 5-node KVM VM cluster.
Red Hat Cluster Service 3 Tutorial - In Development: This is an introduction to RHCS Cluster 3 on EL6.
Using crm - In Development: (To be) A complete guide to using Pacemaker's crm.

Configuration File Documentation

-I experimented with Fedora as a means to begin learning Cluster Stable 3. I would '''not''' recommend using Fedora as a host OS in a production environment! If you wish to use Cluster 3, please purchase a [[Red Hat]] subscription and use [[RHEL]] 6. If that is not an option, then please stick with Cluster 2 until [[CentOS]] 6.x is released. This said, Fedora is an excellent test environment for those wanting to learn Cluster 3 while waiting for a freely available [[EL5]] distribution to become available.

-* [[Two Node Fedora 14 Cluster]] - Abandoned when I got my Red Hat ISV and switched to RHEL 6. Still the most complete paper.
