Introduction
Operating system supportSafeKit modules
Kick-start your SafeKit cluster configuration
SafeKit modules help you get your clustering solution working quicky. Each module includes a set of configuration file templates and scripts needing only simple parametrization, such as the server IP addresses, at installation time. The templates are organized into four categories:
All the modules are delivered with the SafeKit package. They are ".safe" files: .zip files packaged in a specific manner to be deployed after installation. The free trial version includes all these modules, but you can also download the individual modules and view their contents using a .zip extraction tool.
Links on this page point to application modules for the current version of SafeKit. Application modules for earlier versions are available from the support site.
Application modules

Virtualization modules
These modules provide clustering of virtual servers. Full description >>
| Microsoft Virtual Server: virtualserver.safe Mirror architecture: Primary/backup with real-time file replication and automatic failover of virtual servers |
Windows | Microsoft Hyper-V: hyperv.safe Mirror architecture: Primary/backup with real-time file replication and automatic failover of virtual servers |
Windows | VMware Server: vmwareserver.safe Mirror architecture: Primary/backup with real-time file replication and automatic failover of virtual servers. (Be careful, work with VMware Server and not with VMware ESX, the "bare metal" hypervisor.) |

Generic modules
Start with these modules if you want to make an integration with empty restart scripts.
| Generic mirror module: mirror.safe Mirror architecture: primary-backup with real-time file replication and automatic failover |
AIX | Linux | Solaris | Windows |
| Generic farm module: farm.safe Farm architecture: network load balancing and automatic failover |
AIX | Linux | Solaris | Windows |
| Generic master module: master.safe Generic slave module: slave.safe In the master module, shared resources are defined (shared virtual IP, shared files to replicate). In the slave modules, individual start and stop of several applications are isolated. Module dependencies are established between slaves and master. |
