R-sync for solaris?
Hi Gurus

I ave a Prod,standby and DR server(All Sol 5.9) and i need to sync the Application running in prod,standby and DR. The Application vests in a filesystem(a directory) and syncing the directory would server my purpose.

I came across rsync utility and am planning to implement it. But i have two questions:

1.I want a few files in this directory to be not sync-ed. The Application has a license and it's different in the prod,standby and dr boxes.So is it possible to avoid a few files from getting sync-ed.
3. The prod and standby servers are rotated every month,ie,the prod becomes the standby and the standby becomes the prod every alternate month. How should rsync be configured to suit this setup?

Any doc's/suggestions/ideas/ on rsync are welcome.

Note - I don't have apache or any web services running in these boxes.

Thanks
HG

Rsync- Questions??
Hi Folks,

I have been doing some R&D on rsync and would say that i was able to achieve the purpose for which i started it. However the questions below have made my nights sleepless.

1. Why is rsync binary required in both the boxes between which synchronisation happens? Is there a handshake between rsync in both boxes.

2. I am planning to run rsync from crontab without using rsyncd.conf file. Is that advisable in an Enterprise environemnt?

3. Is there a way in rsync for on-line synchronisation.


Thanks
HG
