Simple Integrated Failover
SIF is a simple HA tool for dual host KVM clusters. It's intended to be a turnkey, hands free tool for keeping your virtual machines highly available and limiting downtime in the case of a host failure.
SIF should run on most modern Linux distributions, but there are a few important requirements:
- KVM with libvirt
- systemd
- openssh server on both hosts
- Configured shared storage (EX: NFS or iSCSI)
Please check the wiki for best practices and FAQs.
Distros tested: RHEL 8.4, Debian 10, Debian 11
To install SIF, download files via a web browser or use git clone.
Browse to sif directory, then simply run:
chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh
The SIF installer will start and guide you through the installation process.
Please note that SIF is in active development and should be used accordingly.
