Monitoring an application process and starting on different host
I know how to setup FVE to monitor a process on a Linux host, but I want to build in some logic that would allow FVE to restart the process on the same or a different host. Here is my scenario:
- Two VMs that can run the process (let's call them node 1 and node 2)
- The application "lives" in an NFS share that can be mounted on both VMs
- Only one copy of the application process can be running at any time.
- FVE can monitor the process on node 1 and can be setup to restart the process should a failure occur
- How can I tell FVE to start the process on node 2 should node 1 be unavailable? Even if I could do this, how do I "migrate" the monitoring to node 2 so that FVE knows that the process is there and not on node 1?
I have some ideas in mind, but I wanted to hear what the community might say to see if there is anyone with similar experience.
Thanks,
Jon
