Hi,
using heartbeat it is very much possible to set up active/active cluster what
you need is GFS. LVS is a diffren thing it is releated to load balancing using

My company, whose Linux flavor of choice is RHEL, will be setting up a
load balanced cluster soon. I've setup a couple HA servers using older
versions of heartbeat, but I've never messed with LVS for an
active/active cluster. What, if anything, is the difference between
stock LVS and RedHat Cluster Suite? I'm assuming that RHCS is based on
LVS. Have they added anything, or did they merely slap their own name
on it and start charging extra for support? Anybody out there got any
first-hand experience with both LVS & RHCS? Any input would be greatly
appreciated.
Yes, I know what HA and LVS do. LVS is what I want. I'm familiar with
HA, but I don't know enough about LVS to know if RedHat Cluster Suite
adds anything to it, or is simply re-branded.
And I do know enough about LVS to know that GFS is not required,
depending on what apps you're clustering.
