  • 1.  PowerVC HA deployment across multisite!

    Posted Mon January 15, 2024 03:25 PM

    Hello all,

    Is it possible to install HA configuration of PowerVC Version: 2.2.0 across 2 or 3 sites. Example Node 1 (Site A), Node 2 (Site B), and node 3 (Site C). My understanding is that the current deployment is for a single site.

    Is there any documentation I can look at.

    Regards,

    Sasi

    Yes, you can do that. There isn't any specific documentation that I know of.  As the service IP address will move around, you'll need a VLAN that stretches across sites.

    We have a two site setup where I am.  But do note, PowerVC isn't a HA cluster as such, there isn't STONITH, quorum etc. The main reason for multiple nodes is scalability.
