[Linux-HA] Announcement: New book about Linux-HA Version 2

[Michael Schwartzkopff]

Hi,

Proudly I can announce that O'Reilly published a new book about Linux-HA 
version 2. It is brand new and I hope it covers all topics from learning 
heartbeat up to a reference manual that every cluster admin should have in 
his book shelve.

For all readers I hope that the chapter about sample installations is very 
helpful. It covers
- a fileserver, which shows the use DRBD with the OCF agent.
- a firewall which allows the takeover of the iptables state table(!) and also 
takes care about OpenVPN and OpenSWAN.
- a heartbeat cluster that make a LVS director high available including the 
takeover of active sessions during failover.

For all admins the chapter about monitoring the cluster with SNMP and nagios 
should be interesting.

As far a I can judge (I am the author) there is only one problem with the 
book: It is only available in German at the moment. Sorry.
I am still trying to convice O'Reilly to translate it ;-)

The link to the book is:

Please feel free to mail me any comments and questions regarding the book or 
Linux-HA Version 2 clusters.

Cheers,
