linux failover cluster

jarves · 03-28-2016, 08:05 AM

Hi,

I don't know if this is the right forum page. I have a question on clustering with linux. I have handled clustering with windows OS and it is quite easy and simple and resources/tutorials are readily available. I wonder with linux if it offers somewhat similar failover clustering of the OS and just add whatever supported application needs clustering.

I rarely handle linux so maybe somebody here could help me.
Thanks,

Janus

Hi Jarves,

The answer is: Yes, Linux handles failover clusters.

A lot of documents are available online.
Be warned, it is advanced Linux system administration.
This is the Red Hat official documentation

My purpose why I ask this question is because I have a linux with SQL database in it and I want a failover just in case the linux box with SQL goes down. I was thinking clustering would be the solution. Any recommendations guys?

Is it possible to have a mirror copy of my original linux box then if it fails, it will automatically activate the mirror? is linux capable of this?
