Pacemakers, Death by Storage, and Shooting Servers in the Head
Why High Availability Clustering is awesome
Richard is from England but currently lives in Fürth in Germany, and is employed as Software Architect (Distributions) at SUSE. Involved in openSUSE/SUSE since 2003, Richard has contributed to various aspects of the project, including supporting users on IRC, testing/bug reporting, packaging, artwork, and governance, serving as the projects Chairman for 5 years. Most recently, Richard created the concept of the MicroOS Desktop which he proudly uses as his daily driver.
This session will be an introduction to High Availability clustering, which is available in openSUSE and the SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension. The talk will explain the basic concepts of high availability clustering, such as the Pacemaker Resource Manager, Corosync Cluster Engine, Resource Agents, Fencing Agents, and great acronyms like SBD (Storage Based Death) and STONITH (Shoot the other node in the head)
It will also give a very brief demonstration on how easy it is to setup a simple 2 node HA cluster on openSUSE 13.2 or Tumbleweed
