<div>The only 'gotcha' with using just two servers is that if you upgrade the server that is hosting /home and also is the LDAP master, it is more tedious and (in my view) more a pain since you have to potentially setup LDAP again, and make sure that /home isn't lost. I guess you could redesignate the LDAP master to the server you are not upgrading as well as moving /home to it, and switch their roles. I use a server which is dedicated to hosting /home and running as the LDAP master. Then, my K12LTSP servers are LDAP slaves (thanks to the wonderful script supplied by Matt Olmquist (?) and David Trask). This way, upgrading the K12LTSP servers is relatively risk free in the sense that if K12LTSP installs, then you are almost done once you copy over all of the conf (dhcp, cups, ltsp) files that you needed to save. </div> <div> </div> <div>Sincerely,<br>Dave Hopkins</div> <div><br><br> </div> <div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/29/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Todd O'Bryan</b> <<a href="mailto:toddobryan@mac.com">toddobryan@mac.com</a>> wrote:</span> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">On Tue, 2007-01-30 at 08:42 +0530, Sudev Barar wrote:<br>> On 30/01/07, Todd O'Bryan <<a href="mailto:toddobryan@mac.com"> toddobryan@mac.com</a>> wrote:<br>> > mostly to have one in case the other dies.
