[Linux-cluster] Configuring failover time with Red Hat Cluster

[Christine Caulfield]

Hiya,

I don't have the URL to have but I'm pretty sure there's something in 
the Red Hat knowledge base about calculating failover times. You'll need 
to have paid support to get at it.

Failing that here's a document I wrote that talks about configuring the 
insider bits of openais and cman. "man 5 openais.conf" is also helpful.

I hope this helps :-)
