Yes, you can use Heartbeat to trigger failover to the slave when using replication. There's a number of articles on the topic. Google 'mysql replication heartbeat'. BTW...you can certainly use two dissimilar systems for a MySQL/DRBD/Heartbeat cluster, but you won't have the same performance as if the systems were identical. For home use this may not be an issue. Just depends on your use case.

Any good tutorials on this topic?

I'm thinking of setting up a home system with one powerful server (active) and a lesser server (passive) to be used only upon emergencies. I know this is far from ideal, but its cheaper and wanted to know if it can be done or if it would be a pain to setup (I'm not a huge techie so don't want to deal with too many setup complications) Thanks, Alexander _______________________________________________ drbd-user mailing list drbd-user at lists.linbit.com<mailto:drbd-user at lists.linbit.com> http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user -- Saludos, Alexander
