Hi Falko, I have successfully setup a loadbalanced high availability Apache server and clustered MySQL server on SUSE 10.0, with the help of your excellent tutorials. I have just one question. Can the MySQL cluster run without the ndb_mgmd? I am worried this is a single point of failure. Thanks
Yes, the cluster can run without the management node, however it's not recommended. The reasons are listed here: http://www.davz.net/static/howto/mysqlcluster
