Can zookeeper achive the IBM TSA function?

[xeoshow <xe...@gmail.com>]

Hi dear all,
      I am new to zookeeper, and I have 2 DB2 servers A and B, and the
database is using the shared storage, at any time, only one DB2 server can
access the database storage, if A is active and connecting to the database,
then B can not connect to database...
      If A is broken, the IBM TSA software will monitor it and let B work as
a active Server and B can connect to database.
      I am wondering can this monitor part be replaced by zookeeper, using
zookeeper watch or something else?
      Kindly need your help and thanks a lot.

Take a look here at the recipes:

Ted, thank you very much for your reply. I think A will exit and so ZK can
help ..

Not sure if any further link can help on how to program for such scenario...

yes.

But there is some danger that A will maintain a connection to ZK and thus
retain the master status without being able to act as such.

If you can guarantee that A will exit or go catatonic if it is unable to
continue, then ZK should solve your problem.  This failure scenario is
common, but with a database, I would wonder if there are others.
