Replacement of Unixware system SavWareHA ( sentinel ) software.
zke007
G2 running on Unixware, there are two box identical both in
application and OS ( unixware ) level. And we use Avnet SavWareHA.
( www.savwareha.com ) to keep the application data current on both
box. One is Primary and other is Standby and this software package
keeps the data current on each box.
My problem is we are told we have to port this application over to Sun
Solaris 10 using HP ML350 G3’s , Does anybody know of a package that
is similar that will sit on Solaris 10 and keep identical machines
( note: this is internal drives, not external hardware,,, Ya, Ya, I
didn’t buy hardware ) data current.
Please note that is SavWareHA is End of Life (EOL ) and only good for
SCO anyway.
Thank

Define "identical". If the data is a typical database, there's usually
some way to set them up as a master/slave configuration to do so. If
the data can be kept on an NFS or other network service, there are
numerous "high-availability" applications which are supposed to mirror
and preserve the data, and tools like "rsync" which can be configured
to mirror it on a frequent basis. Veritas is supposed to provide this
sort of thing, properly configured, and virtualization with a common
and highly available OS image availability is also common. What kind
of performance do you need? And why did you choose Solaris for this
application?

If you could use Linux instead of Solaris, there is a commercial product
which runs on it (also on Windows Server) called "Double-Take" which
does exactly what you want.
Also, I suspect that if you do some research, there must be some
open-source software for Linux to achieve the real-time data duplication
you want.
