OS Linux Pacemaker Cluster Error Management

Operating System (OS) clusters provide high availability and fault tolerance to critical applications and services in a distributed system. Among the various cluster management software available, Pacemaker stands out as a reliable and versatile tool for Linux-based systems.

IT-Conductor allows users to automate error handling in a Pacemaker cluster environment. It can be applied to one or more systems and can be run manually or on a schedule. This feature is highly adaptable to any customer environment and can become an essential component of IT maintenance operations.

Pre-requisite Requirements
