I currently run two BBDisplay systems, with the second serving as a BBNET and BBPAGER failover system. It also serves as a document server and our computer room X server. We recover this system at our D/R hotsite, and part of the recovery scripting in place doctors the bb-hosts file on this and all other recovered systems to set this up as the D/R BB system.
I see failover (as such) isn't in the initial cut of hobbit. What problems am I setting myself up for if I allow the network tests to run on both systems? I can handle the redundant paging by kludging my own 'fallover' script to rename my paging script on the fallover, but it looks like network testing would be harder to fake out. (I've only got about 200 devices I'm testing)
And I want both systems to have matching LARRD graphs :-) which is the reason I set things up as is.
(We monitor connectivity to RF antennas used for bar-code scanning applications and our motley assortment of oracle and SAP instances on a mob of AIX systems).
TIA
