Groupwise clustering on Linux
While I was cleaning up some (test) virtual machines I stumbled upon my test cluster with groupwise. Before deleting the vms I decided to backup my cluster configuration for possible future use.
It was a 2 node cluster , evms , ssh stonith device and a groupwise system (postoffice + domain)
Psst: I’m working on the 2nd article about package mgmt on sles.

GroupwiseR summit 2007
The GroupWiseR Summit 2007 in Brugge is over. To be short: it was GREAT! I met some very interesting people, saw some cool new stuff and learned a lot of interesting things.
The keynote by Alex Evans was interesting because it showed us where Groupwise is going to in the next few years. I’m especially happy about 1 thing: the new Linux client! That new client will be shipped as part of Groupwise 8 (Codename: Bonsai) which will be shipped in the first part of 2008.
The most fun part was on Tuesday evening when we had a Troubleshooting session from Jan-Arie Snijders. He’s a support engineer at the Novell Support Center where he’s helping people with Groupwise troubles every day. He created a broken Groupwise system on a Netware machine which contained the most common troubles he encounters and than we had to find them and fix them. Great fun.
Food and Hotel were excellent. There was even a Sinterklaas party on Monday. Seems like everybody was good in 2007 because we all got a present 
Special thanks to all people that made it possible (Erno, Paul, Herbi, ….)
I hope there will be a summit again in 2008!

Groupwise and SugarCRM
Since I’m quite interested in SugarCRM I was happy to read the following announcement:
The Riva product would allow integration of certain groupwise information into SugarCRM and vice versa.
Counting down to the groupwiser summit, still 1 week… Looking forward to the labs about running mobile server on Linux and clustering groupwise.

Todo-1
Last week I finally has some time to test Groupwise 7.2 on a Heartbeat2 cluster.
I followed the official Novell documentation and after a lot of swearing I finally got to the point were everything is working.
There are still some quirks with it and some confusing pieces in the documentation but I’m going to file bugs about it.
Still 1 small thing:
- the evms gui is a nightmare in terms of usability

Todo list #9021
Make a heartbeat2 + Groupwise 7.2 test setup. It looks promising so as soon as I have some test resources I’m gonna try it out. Watch this space
