Cluster Suite

hi

I have 2 questions

1. is the Red Hat Enterprise 5 Cluster Suite the same package and configuration tool as CentOS 5?

2. Do you think for testing purposes I can implement this cluster suite either Centos or Red Hat on vmware workstation using Openfiler or the hardware requirements(SAN - Fence) won't let me test configuration on my virtual home environment?

thanks a lot

Hi kopper27,

1. Both are exactly same. To use RHCS you have to buy licences from Redhat for errata and updates, but CentOS is fully free.

2. I hope you can implement clustering suite in VMware virtual environment, Just give a try.
