HA/FST is a clustering software that provides high availability for Solaris nodes, with the capacity to cover up to four nodes.
Like other HA tools, HA/FST monitors heartbeats sent across a private network. If these heartbeats fail, and subsequent checks across the public network fail, then a failover can occur. Additionally, each application is monitored at configurable intervals to ensure soundness. Application failovers can trigger a restart or a failover, which adds an extra layer of reliability to the software.
HA/FST is perfect for users looking for ready-to-use applications. It comes pre-equipped to support various applications such as Apache, NFS, Oracle, and Samba. Features such as Up to 4 nodes in a cluster, Application Fallback to Preferred Node, Application Failover to a Preferred Node, Remote Node Application Monitoring, Event Notifications, and Network Interface Failover make this software a comprehensive solution for clustering.
The latest release of HA/FST comes with Bug Fixes. The syntax error parsing -t option of fstmodapp prevented proper creation of application agents, which has now been resolved. Overall, HA/FST is a robust and reliable software for clustering. Its features and capabilities make it a desirable choice for users looking for an all-inclusive software package with minimal customizations required.
