Hi all,

I'm trying to decide on the necessary hardware to build an LVS-DR
cluster with initially two directors (for failover) three realservers
and one database server (upgrading to two database later). So far we've
looked at IBM, HP, and Dell to provide the hardware. I'm curious to know
what other people are using and if they have experienced any problems
with their equipment during the setting up and running of an LVS
cluster.

Here's a list of the models we're interested in:

HP: lp1000r
IBM: x330
Dell: PowerApp.Web 120

Anyone using this kit already? I'm quite concerned about the NIC's as
they are built in. Also whether to have SMP directors or not. The
realservers will be running an apache/tomcat config that mostly serves
cached content from memory with the occasional database hit.

Thanks in Advance

Tom
