> Can you still get staqware ?
Hi Vincent,
From experience I'd avoid Staqware at ALL costs. We installed it for one
customers Raq3i and regret it very much so, and it will be costing us
shortly.
Staqware DOES NOT allow kernel upgrades or patches to be installed after
a certain point as it breaks the system. Therefore Cobalt recommends not
to install the security patches!!
Included is the email reply I had from them on the matter:
------cut-------
The OS Update 4.0 package contains a kernel patch that will break down
Staqware functionality. so we strongly advise against installing this
patch. At this moment, unfortunately, there is no solution for this and
since it involves a RaQ3, there will be no solution for this. Due to
these kernel problems (and other problems with Staqware) we currently do
not sell this product anymore.
------cut-------
Unfortunately we need data synchronisation features also, so we cannot
use a simpler solution. You may be as well to do the following:
Setup two RAQs with same data, and setup them BOTH with the same primary
IP addresses, and setup the secondary NICs with different IP addresses
on your internal network (obviously this doesn't work if you don't have
your own datacentre with local IP)
Then login on the local NICs and take down their external interface
(ifconfig eth0 down)
Then all you do is write a script that does a ping test on each machine,
and if a failure happens then bring the interface back up (ifconfig eth0
up)
Sorry to be brief! If you want more info, drop me a line!
Regards,
Andy
