One issue that seems to be of some concern is the ability of HA
solutions to operate across various hardware and OSs. I know this is
the Linux-HA project, but I am curious if any thought is actively gone
into this situation. I see it being more of a issue with Linux than
with other platforms, as many people will be moving to Linux as a low
cost solution, often to augment their already existing platforms.
We at LGS have began work on some PERL HA utils. Our goal is to
provide basic IP takeover ( much like fake ) and Heartbeat control (
like heartbeat ) while keeping it totally non system dependent. Its
not the answer for HA requiring high speed monitoring but we believe it
can be very useful in the majority of IP and Service failover.
I will post the scripts here as soon as we get them to a acceptable
operational level( they work now but we want to test them some more ).
They are lacking in respect to some features already in heartbeat, but
as it is PERL new features are easily added.
We will support as many features found in heartbeat as is possible
in PERL. We are still rather new at this HA stuff so we may be way off
in left field here. Please let me know what you think.
