This article is about my experiences with a project I had at work. I will describe the complete process I used to setup two Solaris 10 servers to be used as an FTP cluster. This article will be broken into several parts and will cover the following topics:

Part 1:

• A complete description of the problem.
• A proposed solution.
• The hardware needed.
• The software needed.
• The network topology used.

Part 2

• Setup of customized start up scripts with SMF.
• Setting up SSH on a non standard port.
• Setup and configuration of the software package Unison.
• Passwordless SSL communication via an SSH key pair.
• Writing a BASH shell script to syncronize system files and other data using unison over an SSL connection.

Part 3

• How to use multipathing on Solaris 10 in order to failover a virtual IP address between two servers.
• Writing BASH shell scripts that will detect network problems and fail a system over to the other system.

Part 4

• Setup and configuration of ProFTPD.
• Testing.
• Final conclusions.
