OK, I am trying to set up a heartbeat cluster with SUSE Linux here. I have 3 machines:

  • heartbeat-1, 192.168.0.21 (virtual)
  • heartbeat-2, 192.168.0.22 (virtual)
  • tweedleburg, 192.168.0.5 (physical)

On heartbeat-*, I install SLES 10 as per default, but I disable ZMD and the firewall. On tweedleburg, I install an iscsi storage. I want to install a highly available web server to gain some experience with clustering. We use heartbeat as cluster manager.

heartbeat-1:~ # yast2 heartbeat

Choose MD5 as auth method and myauth as password.

  • adapt /etc/hosts on both nodes so that it contains
192.168.0.21    heartbeat-1.site heartbeat-1
192.168.0.22    heartbeat-2.site heartbeat-2
