I want to setup Red Hat Clustering.I dont have Share Storage Server.Just need to as one thing-Can I setup a small clustering structure on my 3 RHEL System.Probably I want to use Vmware Server to setup if possible.Is it possible?

Just i am lacking Storage like MSA 1500 Server but I want to ask if I have 3 40GB RHEL Machine.Can I setup Clustering?

There is a another application called DRBD. The software will duplicate the data to another server, so when cluster failed over to another server, the data will be the same. But this method always got limitation, because it need time for data to sync to another server. This is a cheaper solution compare to what u need for a proper Shared San storage and fencing.

I started installing Linux Heartbeat and DRBD on 2 RHEL4 -machines 2 days ago. Got it installed yesterday and at the moment I'm screwing 'round with different different DRBD setups.

Here's quite good HOW-TO to installing DRBD on Red Hat: https://services.ibb.gatech.edu/wiki...:Software:DRBD
