So, with Remus, the theory/goal is 0 downtime of your domU, whereas Pacemaker
simply minimizes downtime to a certain point - the time it takes to detect
failure
and boot the new domU.
Actually, pacemaker can do live migrations with some limitations. If the
I have no experience with Remus, but from Nick's description of it, it
sounds like Remus might be a whole lot easier to set up and may be a
good way to go if all you care about is failover for your domU's, or if
you really need instantaneous failover in the event of a server crash.
All of this is well and good, but not to the point.
I'm using pacemaker and DRBD. It works. it's just a pain.
Has anybody on this list actually used Remus in production? Is it ready
for prime time? Or is it still beta (or alpha)?
