You will need to go for the RHEL5 if you want to receive updates/ fixes for your new servers as well as beter hardware support Have a look at https://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/ Cheers Carel -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Florez, Nestor Sent: Tuesday, 9 October 2007 11:37 a.m. To: Discussions about Red Hat Network (rhn.redhat.com) Subject: [rhn-users] RHEL3 => RHEL 5 - failover/clustering? I just got 2 new identical systems to run our web servers. They will replace our existing 2 systems running RHEL 3. The 2 new systems are identical: Processor: Quad 3.4GHZ/800MHZ/16MB Cache Dual-Core Intel Xeon 7140M Processor Memory: 32GB DDR2 400MHZ Raid Enable, Dual Ranked DIMMs, Hard Drive: 300GB, Gbps, SAS, 3.5 Inch 15K RPM hard Drive, Hot Plug 1) Is it recommended to install RHEL 5 on the new servers or stick with RHEL 3? 2) I have support for RHEL3, do I need to pay extra for RHEL 5 support? (the 2 old systems will be going offline as soon as the new one are ready) 3) Can I just download RHEL 5 and install it on my new systems. 4) Does RH have something similar to Heartbeat and drbd? I was wondering if I can get ideas or can point me to where I can read on how to make sure that the systems are mirrored and are maintained in synch and ready for fallback. Any ideas are welcome.
