Ubuntu 10.04 with full cluster stack support

Май 3rd, 2010

Just in case you haven’t noticed, Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid Lynx” has arrived. I upgraded my personal box over the weekend, and am happy to report that things went pretty flawlessly for me. So I’m now a happy lucid user.

What’s more important for the ever-growing cluster community is the fact that this LTS release comes with built-in support for the Pacemaker cluster stack — and indeed, it’s the first commercially-supported distribution that comes with support for both the Heartbeat and the Corosync cluster messaging layer. And it’s easy, too!

Here’s how I install the Pacemaker stack with Heartbeat (which I prefer) on an Ubuntu box:

aptitude install heartbeat pacemaker

And if you choose to go with Corosync, here’s how.

aptitude install corosync pacemaker

… and you’re good to go!

Credit for Ubuntu cluster stack packaging goes to Ante Karamatić (ivoks) and Andres Rodriguez (roaksoax), along with the rest of the ubuntu-ha team. Their work builds on Debian packaging by Martin Loschwitz, Guido Günther, Frederik Schüler and others.

MySQL scale-out with replication and Pacemaker

Март 30th, 2010

It seems that the MySQL Conference selection committee didn’t seem to like the talk (and tutorial) I submitted about integrating MySQL Replication with the Pacemaker cluster stack, enabling full MySQL scale-out in an environment you previously knew only for its synchronous-replication High Availability features. But — fear not, my fellow HA geeks! — we are instead making the talk available for free, over the web, one week ahead of the conference.

In this 45-minute presentation, we will give an overview about

  • the Pacemaker cluster stack and the Linux-HA project it evolved out of;
  • the current state of MySQL integration in Pacemaker, and of course
  • leveraging Pacemaker’s built-in master-slave clustering infrastructure for MySQL Replication.

It’s pretty cool stuff that the Linux-HA community has put together there.

Join us for this webcast next Wednesday, April 7, at 1500 UTC!

Registration is free. Joining the webinar requires a Java capable browser.
