Hi,

I would have a question on database HA feature in db.properties (
http://cloudstack-administration.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reliability.html#configuring-database-high-availability
)

If I understand correctly, it is up to the admin to provide appropriate
mysql HA (active-active, galera, etc) and ACS management server will  JUST
try to connect to slaves if the master is down ?

We are running Galera, with haproxy/keepalived, and by using stoping
haproxy, it takes i.e. 6sec for keepalived to detect haproxy is down, and
failover IP to another host.

During these 6 seconds, ACS managemnt server goes dead, because of this DB
unavailability.

So my wondering, is better to use ACS db HA feature, instead of
loadbalancer for this specific purpose ?
(we are also using haproxy/keepalived for management server loadbalancing -
2 servers in backend...)

Any experience shared is really appreciated !
