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 Démarrage rapide de Geo Clustering
or the Geo Clustering Guide.
