Hi,

I would be setting up a mysql cluster, i'm researching what's the minimum number of machine to make sure i have fault tolerant and data backups. I found this:

Q: What are the minimum system requirements for MySQL Cluster?

A: A minimum of three computers is required to run a viable cluster. However, the minimum recommended number of computers in a MySQL Cluster is four: one each to run the management and SQL nodes, and two computers to serve as data nodes:
OS:    Linux (RedHat, SUSE), Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Mac OS X
CPU:    Intel/AMD x86
Memory:    512MB RAM
HDD:    3GB
Network:    1+ nodes (Standard Ethernet - TCP/IP)


To add to this question, can i add 2 more machines so i have a hot standby for both the management and SQL nodes?

Also, how can i load balanced, in such a way my web applications will split the to the 2 SQL nodes? Do i need a 2rd party setup for this like ldirectord?

TIA

Regards,

nhadie
