Nokia Clustering or Nokia VRRP ??

[pat13b]

Hello,

I did these suggestions (thanks for all your advice) and I had some great success with the VRRP.

Now, I have another question. Nokia VRRP or Nokia Clustering ??
I played with that today and could not get Nokia Clustering to work with any of the multicast settings but it did work with setting it to "forwarding mode"

(As a side note the VRRP worked fine with my multicast settings.)

Seems to me the simplest method is Nokia Clustering in Forwarding mode.

any thoughts or advice on the better one ?

thanks

VRRP (Active/Standby aka HA) is a lot easer to diagnose than Clustering (Active/Active). If you need to use a cluster for performance, then you really need to build it as a 3-node cluster to keep the N+1 for HA (If you have a two node cluster with each node at 60% CPU, and one fails you're hosed).

Thanks, I never thought of it that way.
