  1. I'm working on the same challenge, and here are two links that have helped:

    Novell's documentation on HA, which is what you are already probably looking at:

    http://novell.com/documentation/sle_ha/book_sleha/?page=/documentation/sle_ha/book_sleha/data/book_sleha.html

    Load balancing howto from Novell communities:

    http://www.novell.com/communities/node/4846/load-balancing-howto-lvs-ldirectord-heartbeat-2

    Download the SLES 11 High Availability Extension as an add-on from the Novell site. It was not grouped under Suse Enterprise Linux as I had expected, but was in its own category for download. Once HAE is added as a source, you can select Software Management, Patterns, and choose High Availability to install all packages at once.

    Still working on the configuration part, though.

    1. Dowload the latest Heartbeat 2.99 source-code that you are able to obtain
    2. ./configure help - configure it with the settings that you need
    3. make srpm
    4. Go to the srpm and do a rpmbuild --rebuild to it.

    If you need DRBD, too - same thing.

    That way you can use the old Heartbeat-Cluster-Stack (and DRBD8) without the need to buy a HAE licence.
