Achieving High Availability with XEN Hypervisor

[stueng]

is there anyone out there with experience of achieving active/active high availability with XEN?

ive now read/watched three seperate tutorials on setting up high availability for XEN. All three implmentations seems to support active/passive operation; where host failture is tollerated by either fully replicating a host to another host or in one example two hosts access shared storage but XEND is actually stopped on the second node

is it not possible to achieve active/active/active configuration? with domU's being migrated to another host if one host was to go down ?

You can do this with Proxmox which is free - but if not, its not free in both VMware and XenServer - although XenServer is probably the cheaper of the two.

thanks for the pointer on proxmox looks very promising
