We have two boxes running Red Hat ES 4.0 connected to a SAN for storage. Live box has been up 163 days, and the test box 159 days. Not sure why it took so long to rebuild. It takes about 1-2 hrs to install LINUX from scratch. Then the system needs to be configured, other software installed, etc… Which will add time of course. We are on two HP DL560’s four dual-core. A bit of overkill but better that the single CPU DEC Alpha we used to have…
The LINUX boxes have been more stable that the Alpha–or I should say Cloverleaf has been more stable on LINUX than on the Alpha.
Currently 130 days on Red Hat LINUX. Would be longer but we had a SAN upgrade. Sorry, but I can’t remember what it was before that. Two live sites:
Site 1: 9 Processes, 52 Threads
Site 2: 6 Processes, 20 Threads
I just wanted to add that we’ve been running on RedHat LINUX for over a year now and we love it. Has most of the advantages of UNIX and has a cost similar to Windows. Again you have to consider what your support staff is familiar with. Our solution is more of a DR solution, rather that an HA one. We have two servers each at two “sites”. (Currently different wings). We have our data and software on the SAN (EMC) which we replicate (SRDF) between the two sites. We also have a job that runs each night that scp’s pieces of our live sites to our test box. That way we have a fairly current setup on our test box–minus the current logs and recovery database… We also have a current copy of the production LUN’s at the remote site which we could manually reassign to the test box in case of an emergency… Not a prefect solution yet, and it doesn
I wanted to thank everyone for there responses. We have had some GUI lockup problems on 3.8.1, and I was interested in ways to operate without the GUID. Thanks! Jeff
Are you saying that each node has its own /quovadx directory, and you just fail the sites back and forth? Thanks
Jeff
We run Cloverleaf 3.8.1P on Tru64 4.0g in a non-clustered environment. Currently it seems to be running fairly well, but as I understand it this is the last Tru64 version supported. We are investigating HA options, probably looking at either HP/UX or Linux. I really like Tru64 and feel that it would probably work as well as any other OS or better, but the lack of support will probably drive us to another OS…. Jeff
I Thank’s Rob, what is the collection called? Is there any publically available documentation? What platforms are supported? Thanks
Jeff
Thanks David, were these scripts you wrote yourself, or did HCI provide them? I willing to write them, but just wanted to make sure that I wasn Gotcha. Thanks Jeff
Thanks guys for your replies. We are currently running with Tru64, and although I -
