Apart from local clusters and metro area clusters, SUSE® Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension
12 SP5 also supports geographically dispersed clusters (Geo
clusters, sometimes also called multi-site clusters). That means you can
have multiple, geographically dispersed sites with a local cluster each.
Failover between these clusters is coordinated by a higher level entity,
the so-called booth
. Support for Geo clusters is
available as a separate extension to Geo Clustering for SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension. For details on how to
use and set up Geo clusters, refer to the Kurzanleitung zu Geo-Clustering
or the Geo Clustering Guide.
