[ClusterLabs] Multisite Clusters: how many servers?

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

My 2 cents,

You need to be able to form a quorum to keep writes going in case of a split brain scenario, if that is important to you and you can/prepared to pay for it, if its data protection only then a fail safe to read only is all you need.

So 3 machines a quorum is 2, 15 machines the quorum is 8.

I am actually building 1 at the moment with gluster as the backend so the main site will have 2 and DR one.



regards

Steven

As I understand it, no. You need a cluster on each site to be able to
trust that a lost site behaves predictably.
