load balance ? rsync ?

Posted by ttgt, 03-30-2009, 12:27 PM
i want to build three servers A,B,C, and put websites on them. i hope B and C can rsync the data from A, when server A is unreachable, all the connection will be pushed to server B, if A and B are all unreachable, all the connection will be pushed to server C. when A or B be back, i hope they could rsync with server C to get the same data, and then all the connection will be pushed to server A, is it possible? or any technology or software could build it?

You need a load balancing solution. Just rsync won't do it all. First you would need something to check the health status of the servers (by hardware, software, or dns) and redirect traffic accordingly. Then you need something to sync the data, like 'unison'.

Hi TTgt, You can go for GFS cluster setup. Just refer Softlayer's knowledge base. http://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/.../443/GFS+howto Syncing data between nodes is not necessary. Instead, cluster have a SAN/ISCSI volume (RAIDed systems) to maintain data which are mounted at cluster nodes. Eg: /dev/mapper/vg_iscsi-GFSVolume 8.5G 20K 8.5G 1% /mnt You can use Fence devices (ILO,DRAC or IPMI) to maintain data integrity. technical_staff -we3cares
