Thanks Rodolfo, What I meant by servers was physical servers. By reading the info and links you provided, I an not sure that reference is always appropriate. I originally envisioned a complete server failure based upon for instance power supply failure, so that was the source of my question regarding how many servers. Would you know if the various clustering software such as heartbeat has a limitation in support for the max number of physical servers which would be identical in services running? Regarding server services, would there be a limit for instance on the number of SSHD services that could be clustered? -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rodolfo J.

See the Linux High-Availability Project [1] and the Beowulf clustering capability [2] for at least two examples of software you could use.

Generally speaking, FC can support as many server processes and as many client connections as your hardware will handle. You are much more likely to see bottlenecks in disk input/output, in RAM usage, in network speed, etc. >What is the max ram a single FC1 server support? I don't recall exactly but I think the standard kernel goes up to either 4GB or 8GB; the bigmem kernel does more. (And an FC server on the AMD x86_64 architecture can do even more.) Hopefully these answers are correct and address what you were looking for. Others can surely provide more answers, or perhaps corrections to mistakes. Cheers, -- Rodolfo J.
