I wrote a failover cluster manager in shell script and even if I didn't yet tested it on netbsd it works on OpenBSD/FreeBSD. there are high chances that it just work out of the box on netbsd. still you will need to script a little to handle the resources you want to move in your high availability cluster, for example handling fencing if needed. my program is called back-to-work and you can download it here: https://sites.google.com/site/shellclustersuite/

I managed to get heartbeat 2.1 working on NetBSD with only a few changes to the code and to the resource agents.

Also, I started porting the Corosync/Pacemaker stack to NetBSD, but that is not working yet. There is still a fix required for libqb (in terms of socket operations).

See: http://lists.corosync.org/pipermail/discuss/2012-December/002259.html http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2012/12/12/msg012160.html

A setup using the Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP) might be a good place to start:

It can be used for a number of things including failover and load-balancing.
