[LinuxFailSafe] problems getting started

[Scott Fagg]

OK, last night i tried the 1.0.4 from CVS and got MUCH further.

I was able to define a node, cluster, resource, resource_group and =
failover_policy. I didn't try the log stuff.

One thing has got me puzzled. Sometimes the CLI wouldn't work for some =
tasks so i had to use the GUI, and sometimes the GUI would lock up but the =
CLI would work. In the end i found myself having to use both to achieve =
some tasks. They may have been a function of not knowing what i was doing =
;)

i got to the point where i could run 'start ha_services on ... in ...' =
After that 'status node A' and 'status cluster C' would return up or =
active.

The next step is to actually DO something with all of this. Does any one =
have a worked example of setting up failsafe to keep apache running should =
it crash ?=20

Is there a HOWTO somewhere ?

That should be straightforward.

grabbed the sysadm_* rpms from sourceforge. The logs below are from 1.0.3.

What is your distribution? 1.0.3 will only work with glibc <=3D 2.2.2; I =
would
suggest using CVS version. The error you have logs very likely to be the =
glibc
incompatibility.
