I complete lost my hobbit server for a day. Is there any work done
on setting up fail over servers?
The simplest solution: Setup a server identical to your Hobbit server,
and rsync the server/etc/ and data/{hist,rrd,tmp} periodically from
your main server. If the main server dies, start Hobbit on the spare
box.
Well no rsync for hp-ux 11. I might be able to rcp/scp . I don't have
another HP set up as a server identical to my Hobbit server.
rsync is reasonably portable. If you could compile Hobbit on HP-UX,
I'd think you could also compile rsync.
Yes, rsync _should_ compile on hp-ux, but I can't confirm. However, I
use the depot package from here:
http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/Admin/rsync-2.6.6/
I am running:
HP-UX presap B.11.11 U 9000/785
Once you have it installed all you'd need to do is sync the important
files (bb-hosts, etc) like Henrik said. I use a combination of rdist
and rsync to push my bb/hobbit configuration around to 90+
hosts(linux, solaris, hpux, bsd), and it works well.
