[TriLUG] Re: LVS / Piranha

[Ryan Wheaton]

I can't really find much documentation on UltraMonkey, but from their 
website, it kind of looks like UM is basically the heartbeat package of 
a larger LVS implementation?

has anyone used Piranha?  It seems very well documented and easy to set 
up (from the RedHat site), but i could be sorely mistaken.
