[Pacemaker] Announce: Clusters From Scratch

[Andrew Beekhof]

I'm pleased to announce the first of a new series of step-by-step  
guides for Pacemaker.

This installment covers installation, the creation of an active/ 
passive cluster and its conversion to active/active.

Technologies used include:

	• Fedora 11 as the host operating system
	• OpenAIS to provide messaging and membership services,
	• Pacemaker to perform resource management,
	• DRBD as a cost-effective alternative to shared storage,
	• OCFS2 as the cluster filesystem (in active/active mode)
	• The crm shell for displaying the configuration and making changes
	• Apache as the example service.

The PDF is available from the Documentation page or directly via http://www.clusterlabs.org/mediawiki/images/9/9d/Clusters_from_Scratch_-_Apache_on_Fedora11.pdf

Future guides are anticipated to include MySQL, mail servers and  
asymmetrical clusters.
Feedback and suggestions for additional topics are welcome.
