Hi, is there a Howto available how to setup Informix/HDR inside a Heartbeat2 Cluster.

Hi, no. At least not that I know of. Support for Informix IDS has been added to Linux-HA (aka Heartbeat) as the IDS Resource Agent. However, this is implemented more as an alternative to HDR rather than to support HDR specifically. This does not mean that you can't setup IDS HDR within Linux-HA. It means that you would have to do some extra things (mainly shell scripting a slightly different resource agent). With that you could control HDR failovers, role switching, etc. via Linux-HA. If that is what you want to do. You could use the existing IDS Resource Agent as a template, of course ... :) Regards, Martin -- Martin Fuerderer IBM Informix Development Munich, Germany Information Management IBM Deutschland GmbH Chairman of the Supervisory Board: Hans Ulrich Märki Board of Management: Martin Jetter (Chairman), Rudolf Bauer, Christian Diedrich, Christoph Grandpierre, Matthias Hartmann, Thomas Fell, Michael Diemer Corporate Seat: Stuttgart, Germany; Reg.-Gericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB-Nr.: 14 562 WEEE-Reg.-Nr.

Hi, yes, thats what I want to do. Where can I find the IDS Resource Agent? There is no Agent available on my SLES 10 installation.

OK, here you go with anold e-mail from 31-Aug-2007: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Sending on behalf of Lars D. Forseth (lars@forseth.de): ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hi there! My name is Lars Daniel Forseth and I studied Applied Computer Science at IBM in Germany. My final diploma thesis has the title "High-Availability Cluster Support for IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) on Linux". As part of this diploma thesis I implemented the new IDS Resource Agent for the Open Source clustering software called Linux-HA, also known as Heartbeat (see http://www.linux-ha.org for details). The IDS Resource Agent manages an IDS database server instance as a resource in a high-availability cluster running on Linux-HA. The source code of the IDS Resource Agent is already published in the official development tree of Linux-HA and will be an integral part of Linux-HA as of the next release. Until the next Linux-HA release is published, the source code can be obtained from the Linux-HA development tree at: http://hg.linux-ha.org/dev/file/tip/resources/OCF/ids Documentation, i.e. the actual diploma thesis and an installation guide from the test system, is available for download at "The Informix Zone": http://www.informix-zone.com/linux-ha-ids In the IDS Team we would appreciate you testing it and providing us with feedback! :) Greetings from Germany, Lars D.
