Virtualization modules

These modules provide clustering of virtual servers. These modules use mirror architecture: Primary/backup with real-time file replication and automatic failover of virtual servers.

Virtualization modules

Virtualization modules

Microsoft Virtual Server: virtualserver.safe Windows
Microsoft Hyper-V: hyperv.safe Windows
VMware Server: vmwareserver.safe
(Be careful, work with VMware Server and not with VMware ESX, the "bare metal" hypervisor.)
Windows

Generic modules

Start with these modules if you want to make an integration with empty restart scripts.

Generic modules

Generic modules

Generic mirror module: mirror.safe
Mirror architecture: primary-backup with real-time file replication and automatic failover
AIX Linux Solaris Windows
Generic farm module: farm.safe
Farm architecture: network load balancing and automatic failover
AIX Linux Solaris Windows
Generic master module: master.safe Generic slave module: slave.safe
In the master module, shared resources are defined (shared virtual IP, shared files to replicate). In the slave modules, individual start and stop of several applications are isolated. Module dependencies are established between slaves and master.
