I gather the term these days is failover.We are using DRBD + OCFS2 + KVM here to provide a redundant virtual hosting solution. If you added a bit of monitoring and automatic failover that's pretty much the solution you are looking for. Live migration already works like a charm so adding failover should be simple enough, we just haven't bothered yet.
Hm. that's intersting - but doesn't OCFS2 negate the need for DRBD???I did look at OCFS many (7?) years ago and wasn't sure of it's stability then, but just had a quick look now and it's looking very intersting - and I've a client who may benefit from it too... Do you have any idea of performance of it?
(of course the down-side is that there is only a 100Mb network where this client is - still cacheing, etc.)
