Multiple server

[igorfelluga]

Hi
I need to mirror a server with whm/cpanel to another server, I need to know:
1. I must take a same server and install the same configuration on the new one?
2. cpanel can do the sync?
3. is working well?

Thanks

Get your new box setup and production ready and secure.
Then just transfer your accounts via whm or whatever your
desired method.

cPanel will unpack and install your account packages.

This may help as well.

you can setup 1 server as NFS server, which will just hold the data.

then setup another machine to use the hard drive through the network. usually the boxes should be connected through gigabit ethernet.

second machine should have the same configuration as the first front end, and should be updated just like the first one.

in case of machine fails, shared drive should be mapped to the second backup machine and all should be running smooth.
