[Spacewalk-list] HA Spacewalk

[Thomas von Steiger]

You can use RHCS inside two dom0's and one cluster service is a SW domU.
For this you need conga to setup a virtual server as a cluster service.
Spacewalk domU is a normal standalone guest with standart start/stop  
scripts.
For this you need shared storage for domU.
There are the same conditions that you need for live migration between  
to dom0's.

Here is a great article about this setup:
