Mirror servers with same configuration

[samuelmf]

Hi i have a centos 6 server i want to mirror it to another one with the same ip, dns records (a, cname, txt...) and same data (mysql, www).

Is possible to do that when the server 1 gets down, the mirror servers works with the same, dns, and ip configurations? and when the server 1 back online, the server 2 left work (but continue recieving the backup info).

What you are wanting to do is not terribly practical. There are a lot of ways to achieve highly available servers both with and without cpanel. With cPanel you really need to use virtualization and network based storage. We generally use Citrix Xenserver for this type of thing.

You can also just set up the site without using a control panel and sync data with back-end mysql servers, etc. This is only practical though when you are talking about one or two sites that do not require frequent configuration changes like adding sites and you wouldn't run other services like email off them.

Hello @samuelmf,

Replication/High Availability isn't supported as a cPanel & WHM feature at this time, but I encourage you to review the following feature requests and vote/add feedback:

Server configuration and data auto-sync (mirroring)
Active-Active Redundancy or High-availability
Built-in load balancing, replication, high availability

Also, you can review the comments sections on these feature requests to see examples of how other users are implementing custom setups.

Thank you.
