7.0 Setting Up High Availability Branch Servers

In a NovellĀ® Linux Point of Service system, it is possible to deploy Branch Servers in a high availability (HA) setup. High availability, in this context, means an HA cluster of two nodes in an active/passive setup. One of the nodes runs all services. The other node is a hot standby which can take over all services in the event the active node fails.

This section outlines the requirements and procedures needed to configure an HA Branch Server pair.
