high availability in XVideoSharing

#1 Postby find4 » Jun 28, 2012 5:11 am

Hi

I can add different server in xvideosharing (encoding, etc). But with only one MAIN server. Can I work with more than one main server? How I can configure ?

For example

6 machines

A - 2 web (frontend)
B - 2 database
C - 2 encoding

If I loose one machine in the layer A I need change the control to the second . In fact I'm thinking in put a load balance and distribute the requests. There is some problem?

this can be done without any modification to xfs script, get a system administrator and have HA setup with rsync/database replication

if you need something easy to setup, check : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pcrvec-c35Q

encoding can already be spread across servers

Ok

But how about the setup? I need to put the same code in the two servers and it works but if I change some settings (it re-write the XFSConfig.pm for example)? How I can guarantee the same configuration in this configuration?

that's for your linux admin to figure out on how to replicate changes on both servers

or you can just make changes to server A and setup the replication on B, you can do this by directly connecting to A instead of going via load balancer
