This will also largely depend on how you're setting up LVS, are you
setting up keepalived or ultramonkey? I'm assuming ultramonkey given
the set-up you described. Do you want a basic set-up or an advanced
set-up (for example a set-up with high-throughput), also what services
are you runnning on the real servers (MySQL for example takes a lot
longer to configure in the ldirectord.cf file than apache does).
Assuming that you're doing a basic set-up with ultramonkey and load
balencing only apache, with your experience I would say that total
time from start of install to running (install and debug) will
probably be around 1 -2 days (8 - 16 hours), but that's also not going
to yield a production quality server, that's just load-balenced
fail-over server up and running. How long till production quality is
a question that I can't answer for you either.

Hello All,
I am new to load balancing and Linux Virtual Server, and my management has
asked me for an estimate of installation time.
considering the following setup , can you suggest an estimated installation
time. Any suggestions would be great.
1) Basic understanding of Linux servers in general.
2) Have got a colleague working with me on this, who has 10 years linux
experience , so I assume help will be available to me from a person with mid
level linux expertise.
3) Two front end directors to be setup as a primary and backup load
balancer.Two real servers to be load balanced. Real servers will have Centos
4.2 installed on them.
4) The Server OS will be installed by the hosting company, so that I can
request them to install the right flavour of linux that supports LVS.
Considering all the above how long do you think it should take to set this
all up. Any resource that can help me make this estimate would be great.
Thanks a lot,
Imran.
