James,<br>

I echo Adam's input. I have only heard of people implementing with <br>
pacemaker but there is no reason that this couldn't be tried with other <br>
HA solutions.<br>
<br>
If you are able to try it and document it would be great to add <br>
documentation here: [1]<br>
<br>
Also, Gorka Eguileor is a good contact as he has been doing much of the <br>
work on HA Cinder though his focus is on Active/Active HA.<br>
<br>
Let us know if you have any further questions.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
