Hello all...<br>
<br>
<span class="Apple-style-span"
style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">We're
going to have a few servers in different segments but those segments
will be in the same VLAN.<br>
<br>
Server1: 192.168.1.10/27 with VE @ .11<br>
Server2: 192.168.1.12/27 with VE @ .13<br>
Server3: 192.168.1.14/27 with VE @ .15<br>
Server4: 192.168.1.16/27 with VE @ .17<br>
Server5: 192.168.2.20/27 with VE @ .21 (notice the different segment)<br>
<br>
Both segments are in VLAN100.<br>
<br>
Our processes allow for "fail-over" from a failing server onto a good
server. We do this by using OpenVZ. So, if "Server5" should fail (let's
assume its CPU died), we would fail-over the "Server5" virtual
environment (which includes its IP Address) onto "Server1" and clients
will still be able to connect to their normal IP Address. Server1 would
then have 2 virtual environments, one on 192.168.1.11/27 and the other
on 192.168.2.21/27, and it's hardware node configured as
192.168.1.10/27.<br>
<br>
A "fail-over" is not an automated process, but a restore from the last
backup of the VE onto another hardware node.<br>
<br>
Will OpenVZ support this type of setup without additional configuration?<br>
<br>
If additional configuration is required, and assistance is appreciated.<br>
<br>
