I have a basic ext script that does a basic check to make sure bbd is up
and running on the primary server, if it is not then it fails over to
the secondary server. As I say it is basic but it does what I need it
to.
The process is as follows;
Secondary Run's hobbit-redundant check Via ext every 5 minutes
If Primary Server Up then do nothing
Else If Primary Server down then copy in place hobbit-alerts.cfg.live
This is reliant on data being sent to both servers (so having a proxy
sending to both servers or the clients configured to send data to both
bb servers.

Mike Rowell

It's not there yet. Some of the stuff I've been working on lately
provides part of the solution for this, but it isn't complete.
Besides, "fail over" means lot of different things. For a true fail
over
setup, you'll need some hardware support on top of Hobbit - providing
a virtual IP for your resilient hosts, and probably some sort of
shared
storage. Most of that is handled outside Hobbit.
So what exactly do you have in mind ?

Hi
I use two independent Hobbit servers; each client reports to both
servers. The question is how to synchronize the two
servers after an outage of a server.
