About This Guide

SUSE® Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension is an integrated suite of open

source clustering technologies that enables you to implement highly available physical

and virtual Linux clusters. For quick and efcient conguration and administration,

the High Availability Extension includes both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a

command line interface (CLI).

This guide is intended for administrators who need to set up, congure, and maintain

High Availability (HA) clusters. Both approaches (GUI and CLI) are covered in detail

to help the administrators choose the appropriate tool that matches their needs for per-

forming the key tasks.

The guide is divided into the following parts:

Installation and Setup

Before starting to install and congure your cluster, make yourself familiar with

cluster fundamentals and architecture, get an overview of the key features and

benets, as well as modications since the last release. Learn which hardware and

software requirements must be met and what preparations to take before executing

the next steps. Perform the installation and basic setup of your HA cluster using

YaST.

Conguration and Administration

Add, congure and manage resources, using either the GUI or the crm command

line interface. Learn how to make use of load balancing and fencing. In case you

consider writing your own resource agents or modifying existing ones, get some

background information on how to create different types of resource agents.

Storage and Data Replication

SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension ships with a cluster-aware le

system (Oracle Cluster File System, OCFS2) and volume manager (clustered

Logical Volume Manager, cLVM). For replication of your data, the High Availabil-

ity Extension also delivers DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device) which

you can use to mirror the data of a high availabilitly service from the active node

of a cluster to its standby node.

Troubleshooting and Reference

Managing your own cluster requires you to perform a certain amount of troubleshoot-

ing. Learn about the most common problems and how to x them. Find a compre-

hensive reference of the command line tools the High Availability Extension offers

for administering your own cluster. Also, nd a list of the most important facts and

gures about cluster resources and resource agents.

Many chapters in this manual contain links to additional documentation resources.

These include additional documentation that is available on the system as well as doc-

umentation available on the Internet.

mentation updates, refer to http://www.novell.com/documentation.
