Dear forum,
If I understand correctly, I need shared storage for the self-hosted engine to make it
highly available. But is it possible to create 2 self-hosted engines on 2 hosts and make
it high available this way?
Not exactly.
If you simply want two *engines* on two machines (self-hosted or
standalone) to work against a single replicated database, so that if
one dies, the other takes over - that's not supported as a feature per
se, but IIUC there are people that are doing that. That's definitely
not very easy to do.
If you ask that just because you do not have any shared storage, then
you are looking at using HCI - same hosts used for both VMs and
gluster storage.
There is a related feature, although different, called "Disaster Recovery".
Best regards,
