From ClusterLabs
Core Documentation
Our core documentation is located at http://clusterlabs.org/doc and consists of a step-by-step guide called "Clusters from Scratch" and the dry but exhaustive "Pacemaker Explained" which documents every option and concept in Pacemaker. Both documents are version specific (things have changed a bit over the years) and have been translated into several languages.
There is even a version of "Clusters from Scratch" for the LCMC GUI: HTML Single HTML PDF
Books about Pacemaker
- Clusterbau: Hochverfügbarkeit mit pacemaker, OpenAIS, heartbeat und LVS by Michael Schwartzkopff (in German)
- A Practical Guide to XEN High Availability by Sander van Vugt
