First of all, Thank you very much for reading my meassage.

My name is Tom Tran. I successfully installed PacsOne on my standalone windows 2003 server. I am planning to install and configure PacsOne on my windows 2003 cluster environment which have 2 nodes. I wonder if it is possible??? If anybody has done this before, please give me some hints...

Thanks in advance.

Dear PacsOne Admin,

Thank you very much for your reply. I read the threads but they are not related to mine.

I just want a 24/7 pacs system on my 2-node cluster environment.... if one server crashs, I can still have my pacs up on the other server....

This have nothing to do with the backup of data and stuff.

Best regards,
Tom Tran

For redundant setup, you can configure two PacsOne servers:

one as primary and the other as secondary, then automatically route all received images on the primary to the secondary server.

On the secondary server, you can configure it to automatically synchronize with the primary server every night, just in case the auto-route missed anything.

Thank you very much for your help.

So, the primary and secondary servers can act as cluster nodes or they are just standalone servers with auto-routing?

I would like to setup and environment where people can access to PacsOne 24/7 with 99.999% of uptime. Is this possible?

Best regards,
Tom

The above suggestion with two servers and automatic routing is still stand-alone servers.

To setup clusters, you'd at least need to configure MySQL on the two servers to be cluster nodes, plus you must use network-shared storage (SAN, NAS, etc.) instead of local disks to store the raw images, and both nodes must use the same mounted path for the network-shared storage, e.g., /mnt/san/pacsone/ etc.

Dear PacsOne Admin,

Thank you very much. I took care of that problem. I will write up something for the group when I have everything up and running...

Currently, I am having a little problem. I will create another thread for it.

But so far, my cluster is fine with the PacsOne and I can fail over PacsOne and create users and AE.... but I am having a problem with Ping.

Best regards,
Tom Tran
