This cluster is load-balanced by an Ultra Monkey package which provides heartbeat (for checking if the other node is still alive) and ldirectord (to split up the requests to the nodes of the MySQL cluster). falko Tue, 17 Jun 2008 09:52:40 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/set-up-a-loadbalanced-ha-apache-cluster-ubuntu8.04 This tutorial shows how to set up a two-node Apache web server cluster that provides high-availability. In front of the Apache cluster we create a load balancer that splits up incoming requests between the two Apache nodes. Because we do not want the load balancer to become another "Single Point Of Failure", we must provide high-availability for the load balancer, too. Therefore our load balancer will in fact consist out of two load balancer nodes that monitor each other using heartbeat, and if one load balancer fails, the other takes over silently. falko Thu, 12 Jun 2008 11:23:37 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-a-web-email-and-mysql-database-cluster-on-debian-5.0-with-ispconfig-3 This tutorial describes the installation of a clustered web, email, database and DNS server to be used for redundancy, high availability and load balancing on Debian 5 with the ISPConfig 3 control panel. GlusterFS will be used to mirror the data between the servers and ISPConfig for mirroring the configuration files. I will use a setup of two servers here for demonstration purposes but the setup can scale to a higher number of servers with only minor modifications in the GlusterFS configuration files. falko Wed, 11 Aug 2010 23:34:10 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/openfiler-2.3-active-passive-cluster-heartbeat-drbd-with-offsite-replication-node Openfiler is a Linux based NAS/SAN application which can deliver storage over nfs/smb/iscsi and ftp. It has a web interface over that you can control these services. The cluster we build will consist of two nodes replicating each other and taking over services and storage in case of emergency. Furthermore we have an Offsite Replication Server, which ideally stands in a physically different position and replicates the configurations/storage from which ever node is active. In case of emergency this Offsite Replication Server can be used to restore the cluster and to deliver the services. falko Thu, 10 Feb 2011 14:23:14 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/high-availability-load-balancer-haproxy-heartbeat-debian-etch This article explains how to set up a two-node load balancer in an active/passive configuration with HAProxy and heartbeat on Debian Etch. The load balancer sits between the user and two (or more) backend Apache web servers that hold the same content. Not only does the load balancer distribute the requests to the two backend Apache servers, it also checks the health of the backend servers. If one of them is down, all requests will automatically be redirected to the remaining backend server. In addition to that, the two load balancer nodes monitor each other using heartbeat, and if the master fails, the slave becomes the master, which means the users will not notice any disruption of the service.

The load balancer acts between the user and two (or more) Apache web servers that hold the same content. The load balancer passes the requests to the web servers and it also checks their health. If one of them is down, all requests will automatically be redirected to the remaining web server(s). In addition to that, the two load balancer nodes monitor each other using heartbeat. If the master fails, the slave becomes the master - users will not notice any disruption of the service. HAProxy is session-aware - you can use it with any web application that makes use of sessions like forums, shopping carts, etc. falko Sun, 02 Mar 2008 12:46:21 GMT http://www.howtoforge.com/setting-up-a-high-availability-load-balancer-with-perlbal-heartbeat-on-debian-etch This article explains how to set up a two-node load balancer in an active/passive configuration with Perlbal and heartbeat on Debian Etch.

DRBD stands for Distributed Replicated Block Device and allows you to mirror block devices over a network. This is useful for high-availability setups (like a HA NFS server) because if one node fails, all data is still available from the other node. falko Tue, 23 Aug 2011 07:44:46 GMT
