Hi Tom,

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, this will help not only me! 
As I am still working on the MySQL part, you mentioned multi-master which I have running indeed, but I suppose there still will need to be some kind of entering point within the cluster. How did you managed this?

Best regards,

  The team I work in has looked at a number of methods for high
  availability within the Diablo release and I've included some notes
  below, hope this helps.
  
  Font-end API servers
   * load balanced with h/w load balancer
   * use s/w LB for smaller deployments
   * run nova-scheduler on each
  
  MySQL DB
   * multi-master configuration
   * alternative: drbd + pacemaker in active/passive
  
  RabbitMQ service
   * Pacemaker with Active-passive configuration
   * Based on example from RabbitMQ site (already mentioned by someone else)
   * Virtual IP for the service - used for rabbitmq config in nova.conf
   * I think there are some corner cases where messages could be dropped
  during failover and I believe later RabbitMQ versions support full
  multi-master but require some client side changes - is there any plans
  to support this?
  
  nova-volume service
   * Current weakness in the HA setup, unless you are willing to use iscsi
  tgtd with DRBD. I believe this would still have some problems when
  failing over with the initiators that are logged in.
   * I'm hoping this will pan out for essex with some of the storage
  vendors committing nova-volume support via their API's.
  
  Glance
    * Run on multiple servers
    * Use another VIP in your pacemaker setup or load-balancer
    * Use swift as backend storage
  
  Compute servers
   * Each run their own copy of nova-api (only instances running on the
  node use this)
   * nova-network (multi-host configuration) with private network
  
  Swift
   * Run swift-proxy across all swift-storage nodes on a small setup
  
  
  Regards,
  
  Tom
