Re: [slurm-users] Database cluster

To protect from HW failure, and to have more free hands when upgrading underlying OS, we use virtualization with "live migration"/HA and MariaDB server as a VM.

VM is easy to backup, restore as a snapshot, clone for possible tests, etc.

In the past, I deployed (customer-requirement) one site using a Galera cluster, but the high availability solution introduced a new level of configuration complexity, which was IMO not helping to the total system availability.
