With clusterd being yanked from Tiger server prior to release, what are our options for clustering and failover?
I have a dp 2.0 XServe G5 that houses network home folders and publishing assets for about 150 concurrent users. The data is on a fiiber switch attached XRAID.
This system has been super reliable. However, we would like to reduce the costs that downtime may cause us, in such an event.
Ideally, I would like to add a 2nd xserve to the mix that would create a cluster. I want the 2 systems to appear like 1 system to the endusers, such that in the event of a hardware outage, the users don't have to do anything different.
I need the solution to cluster both AFP and SMB connections.
It would be really great if it could load balance the connections when both servers are up.
Are there any solutions out there to what I want?
Thanks!
