[Pacemaker] Corosync vs Heartbeat

[S, MOHAMED (MOHAMED)** CTR **]

Andrew,

In our team, couple of years back, we tried to setup 2 nodes Active/Passive HA using pacemaker-1.0.5 and heartbeat-3.0.0

Now, I need to resume that work. First thing I thought I will update the libraries. Looks like I need to replace heartbeat with corosync.

When I looked at the following links in clusterlabs.org site, to my knowledge the recent version available for pacemaker is 1.1.7

http://theclusterguy.clusterlabs.org/

http://www.clusterlabs.org/wiki/Get_Pacemaker

And based the corosync.org site, the latest version is 2.0.0

http://www.corosync.org/doku.php?id=releases

If there are more recent and stable versions available that you can suggest, please let me know.

If I have updates for RHEL 5.7, will I be able to build it myself?

Thanks,
Raffi
