Re: High Availability setup.

The setup that I know works...

Any number of Apple Xserve servers with Xsan software installed connected to one Xraid storage through fiber channel. Now you can have your networking team setup a load balancer for all of your traffic and every server then can connect to the Xraid simultaneously without consequence. The Xserves would contain the Subversion binaries and Apache HTTPD, and all of your repositories would be on the Xraid drive. The nice thing about this setup is that it is highly redundant. You can take a server down as needed without affect availability.

I understand that a similar setup can be done with Sun hardware using their ZFS technology in Solaris. I haven't spent that much time with Linux and we don't have any Linux machines where we work. So I cannot answer if any Linux flavors can support the same concepts that Apple or Sun can.

Hope this helps,

Johnathan
