Welcome to the Linux-HA heartbeat code
It works, and it can actually do quite a bit.
It can do 2-node IP takeover for an unlimited number of IP interfaces.
It heartbeats over:
unadorned serial links arranged in a ring topology
UDP/IP broadcast heartbeats over ethernet (or similar)
UDP/IP multicast heartbeats over ethernet (or similar)
special "ping" heartbeats to routers, etc.
After installing this package, you'll have to make some HA config files
in /etc/ha.d. Samples of these config files are found in the doc directory.
These files are named:
ha.cf
and haresources
The beginnings of a Hardware Installation guide can also be found under
the doc directory as:
HardwareGuide.html or HardwareGuide.txt (take your pick)
The beginnings of a Getting Started Guide can also be found under
GettingStarted.txt or GettingStarted.html (take your pick)
For more info on Linux-HA, I recommend you read the Linux-HA web page.
It can be found at:
http://linux-ha.org/
The pages found there also document this software and current thinking
about plans for the future, etc.
