Installing Firebird in clustering mode
Hi folks

I need to install Firebird in a 2-node cluster. How can I do it?. I suppose I just have to install Firebird in each nodes, isn't it?

You'd better give us more details, I don't think firebird supports clustering, but ...

We have 2 IBM servers connected to a hard disk rack by fiber optic cable, and we would like to exploit the performance and/or reliability of the cluster with Firebird. Each server have a identical system hard disk installed with a Windows 2003 Server OS, SQL Server, Firebird.. each server have the same Windows services on. The firebird databases are stored in the hard disk data rack, which is connected and accessible to both servers.

It would be great if one of the two servers goes down, the other can still running firebird with all the db's up with no problem.

Is this possible?

Thanks Pabloj

So you'd like Microsoft Clustering to manage Firebird service (you'll probably have to run it without guardian) and if Firebird on backup server can pick up the fdb file without data loss ...
I don't know, you'd better try (and a wrap up posted here would be even better ) sorry.

Ok, I will tell you the results

Why I have to install Firebird without guardian?, what does exactly the guardian?

The guardian restarts the service, but this feature is provided by the OS/Clustering service, no need for that and it can mess up things
