Is there a fail over Document for Confluence

[Dave]

Jira has a document outlining possible Failover solutions. (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/ATLAS/Failover+for+JIRA)

Is there one for confluence?

Clustering is not supported on Virtual Machines so this is not an option.

The Confluence server is running on a Virtual machine

Answered by Atlassian as part of a comment to a the first answer

"We do support clustered on a VM now. See update at https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-19559?focusedCommentId=342271&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-342271

So using his answer I will anser this question that it ios supported and the documentation is "use clustering docs"

One thing to note is that clustering won't provide you with failover which I think is your intent. I'd be happy to talk more about your failover needs if you email me at bill at atlassian.

So I am still left with a question unanswered.

Is there a suitable failover document similar to teh jira documentation (linked in teh question) that applies to Confluence running in a VM?????

Hi,

You can setup Confluence for High Availability. See this document : https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=154633658.

Ok but what if I don't want to use clustering?

Clustering is not supported on Virtual Machines so this is not an option.
