High Availability with Proxmox

Hello,

I'm quite new to proxmox. My company is planning to setup a simple virtualization cluster with high availability to bring the OS systems of 15 dedicated bare-metal servers to 3 bare metals with virtualization.
Our target is to have 2 or 3 powerful servers acting as VMHosts with KVM running several VMGuests (Centos, Ubuntu, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003 and some XP).
If one of these VMHost servers is failing, the others has to take the VMGuests of the failed server (in best case without or low delay).

Is it possible to setup such constelation in Proxmox? I saw the tutorial video to setup a master and a node but I didn't saw high availability in action.

Thx for any help

Best regards

Benjamin
 
Thx for your answer. What a bummer.
Can you give me a release date für version 2.0?

Proxmox seems to me a good choice and if the release date is not that for in the future maybe its worth for waiting for it.

...you might also have a look into zenloadbalancer.com - at least for some HA tasks this imo could be a quick "plug&play" addition for Proxmox. We're currently running some Web- and MySQL services with this. You only need to install 2 Zen instances as VM on 2 Proxmox nodes, connect them to a "Zen Cluster" (it's basically a VRRP thing providing "virtual" (= HA) IPs), and then add your backend services (other VMs). Of course value depends on your needs, but this is really a simple setup. Has to be carefully checked, though, since there's not that much documentation...
And it currently only works for tcp, not udp.
