[COLUG] Linux HA - heartbeat

[Travis Sidelinger]

If I understand heartbeat 2.x correctly, it's using a clustered data 
store for resource data.  The primary method for configuring resources 
is through the GUI.  There are command line tools for configuring resources.

My plan is to have a pool of resources: storage, web servers, IP 
addresses, databases, and application servers all managed by heartbeat. 
  Also, it will be supported by non-linux admins.  Thus, being able to 
start, stop, and fail over resources via the GUI will be quite valuable.
