HA Again

Well, this time, it's about a High Availability Cluster System issue, not a Human Assesment training. :o

Sun Microsystems seems to have decided to make their HA cluster software, Solaris Cluster, open source. (Available here)
Some colleagues of mine are working on heartbeat, but practically speaking it's a troublesome software unfortunatelly. Indeed, one of the best engineers among us (Hey Takenaka-san, it's you :) is always captured by troubles of hearbeat. :(

I'm wondering why they don't choose that. :o

Is Heartbeat that bad? What kind of problem does it have?

I always want to find something better than our HA software, the one probably you know. I wanted to take a look at Heatbeat.
