[linux-lvm] How to mirror or Replicate a primary server's data to a secondarymachine

[Gary Mansell]

Hi,

I am considering whether to go down the path of a dual server, manual
failover solution for one of my RHEL fileservers.

I would have two identical servers in two different machine rooms on our
site and if the main server failed then I would manually reconfigure the
secondary server with the primary server's IP address so that the client
machines can carry on working.

Can anyone recommend to me what I need to do to mirror the data across
the two servers so that updates to the primary server are also made to
the secondary server

Thanks in advance for any help

Regards

Gary Mansell
