[12:52] yes, is there a master/server relation [12:52] I want to set up a backup server, so in case the master goes down, the slave takes control of everything (ldap, samba, and so on) [12:53] like failover or you start the backup server manually? [12:53] whatever is easier [12:53] I don't mind starting it manually [12:55] I would probably do it with rsync, at night when nobody's using it (if that's the case here), and have all the configurations in place in case I have to switch. but that's just me, there are probably much better ways to do it [12:56] and more complicated ways too :) [12:56] that sounds pretty useful [12:56] just rsync? [12:57] the problem with that setup is, after you get the master server back up, you have to sync back the changes made on the backup. it really depends on your situation, maybe you should google it first ;) === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [13:10] cemc: yes, could be really a problem [13:13] morning === robbiew1 is now known as robbiew [13:27] yo [13:29] sommer: tu === zoopster1 is now known as zoopster [14:13] what is the best way to sync two servers?

So, if one fails, start the other without any data loss [14:29] I don't know if I can run a rsync every hour (or so), or if there is any other solution more appropiated for this goal [14:30] <_ruben> if you want realtime sync of data use something like drbd [14:30] mmm, clustering then [14:31] but I've already the server working [14:32] <_ruben> drbd can be activated with existing data .. must admit, never done it myself (drbd is still on my todo/wish list) [14:33] I'll give it a look, but I don't know if it fits in the actual enviorenment [14:33] is there any other solution? [14:33] <_ruben> its the only realtime sync solution im aware of [14:34] <_ruben> closest alternative would be a scheduled rsync as you stated yourself [14:34] glusterfs [14:35] thanks you both, I'll give it a try for both solutions [14:35] but seems that your point is right: clustering [14:35] no matter how, is the best way to accomplish real-time data sync [14:46] New bug: #504262 in eucalyptus (main) "Lucid UEC installer: NC doesn't publish its existence" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/504262 [14:48] Anyone know a way of installing vmware tools into ubuntu server 8.10?

[14:53] ttx: heh :-) [14:53] ttx: well, i'm learning more about upstart each night [14:54] I hit the respawn limit even on a avahi-daemon restart (which is quite fast) [14:54] ttx: that i'm not sure about, but I'll ask slangasek [14:54] we might have to corner the upstart experts at the sprint [14:54] ttx: agreed, would be nice to get a comprehensive review of eucalyptus*upstart and their dependencies [14:55] ttx: it would be nice to get that on the calendar [14:55] ttx: as a 1.5 hour meeting or something [14:55] right, let me see if there is a place for that yet [14:56] not yet [14:56] Anyone know how to install vmware-tools into server 8.10?
