Bug HA Cluster solution for Linux - which one to use?

Hi all experts,

I need your kind suggestions or feedback on choice of clustering software for red hat linux nodes running certain applications which I need to make highly available.

Minimum requirement is 2 nodes; all nodes shall be active-active running distinct applications e.g. node 1 runs application ABC and node 2 runs application PQR, node 1 is back up node for PQR and node 2 for ABC. Node 1 and node 2 do not have any shared storage required, they access back end database which is protected by Oracle's dataguard.

I need to have cost-effective HA with minimum downtime. There are various HA solutions available in market - SteelEye, Veritas Cluster, Red Hat cluster suite, IBM HACMP etc. and I have almost narrowed down to Red Hat Cluster(for it being cheaper) vs Veritas (for it being feature rich).

Any experiences with clustering? Any pros and cons of these two cluster software (with references would be appreciated) would be of great help?

Dear mods, if this thread is not suitable for this sub-forum; kindly advise where to post within this forum

NAME
Tree::RedBlack::Node - Node class for Perl implementation of Red/Black tree SYNOPSIS
use Tree::RedBlack; my $t = new Tree::RedBlack; $t->insert(3, 'dog'); my $node = $t->node(3); $animal = $node->val; DESCRIPTION
A Tree::RedBlack::Node object supports the following methods: key () Key of the node. This is what the nodes are sorted by in the tree. val ($) Value of the node. Can be any perl scalar, so it could be a hash-ref, f'rinstance. This can be set directly. color () Color of the node. 1 for "red", 0 or undef for "black". parent () Parent node of this one. Returns undef for root node. left () Left child node of this one. Returns undef for leaf nodes. right () Right child node of this one. Returns undef for leaf nodes. min () Returns the node with the minimal key starting from this node. max () Returns the node with the maximal key starting from this node. successor () Returns the node with the smallest key larger than this node's key, or this node if it is the node with the maximal key. predecessor () Similar to successor. WARNING: NOT YET IMPLEMENTED!! You can use these methods to write utility routines for actions on red/black trees. For instance, here's a routine which writes a tree out to disk, putting the byte offsets of the left and right child records in the record for each node. sub dump { my($node, $fh) = @_; my($left, $right); my $pos = tell $fh; print $fh $node->color ? 'R' : 'B'; seek($fh, 8, 1); print $fh $node->val; if ($node->left) { $left = dump($node->left,$fh); } if ($node->right) { $right = dump($node->right,$fh); } my $end = tell $fh; seek($fh, $pos+1, 0); print $fh pack('NN', $left, $right); seek($fh, $end, 0); $pos; } You would call it like this: my $t = new Tree::RedBlack; ... open(FILE, ">tree.dump"); dump($t->root,*FILE); close FILE; As another example, here's a simple routine to print a human-readable dump of the tree: sub pretty_print { my($node, $fh, $lvl) = @_; if ($node->right) { pretty_print($node->right, $fh, $lvl+1); } print $fh ' 'x($lvl*3),'[', $node->color ? 'R' : 'B', ']', $node->key, " "; if ($node->left) { pretty_print($this->left, $fh, $lvl+1); } } A cleaner way of doing this kind of thing is probably to allow sub-classing of Tree::RedBlack::Node, and then allow the Tree::RedBlack constructor to take an argument saying what class of node it should be made up out of.
