Hymilaya is ZLE or non-stop Windows like kernel. The linux HA is Steeleye SW and HW like this:
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/solutions/enterprise/highavailability/dl380/index. html Alan Robertson's linux-ha.org project is the "heartbeat" package that has some kits available; when he was at SuSE I recall we had Apache, and DRDB, with SAP and Oracle in the works. Some of this work also went into the oss.sgi.com "Failsafe" project that Alan and Lars Marowsky-Bree headed up. Most, well really all I know of, our Linux customers use Steeleye, and this is on Dell or IBM too. Solaris customers I have seen here use Veritas. Regards, Jon On 3/17/03 7:49 PM, "Steven A.
