[ClusterLabs] [Linux-HA] Cluster for HA VM's serving our local network

[Digimer]

Hi Juergen,

  First; This list is deprecated and you should use the Cluster Labs -
Users list (which I've cc'ed here).

  Second; That tutorial is quite old and was replaced a while ago with
this one: https://alteeve.ca/w/AN!Cluster_Tutorial_2. It has a lot of
improvements we made after having many systems out in the field, so it
is well worth re-doing your setup to match it. It's mostly the same, so
it shouldn't be a big job.

  I'll address your comments in-line:

OK.

The default libvirtd bridge is a NAT'ed bridge, so your VMs would get
IPs in the 192.168.122.0/24 subnet, and the libvirtd bridge would route
them to the outside world. Using the bridge type in the tutorial though,
your VMs would appear to be directly on your network and would get (or
you would assign) IPs just the same as the rest of your system.
