HA cluster setup questions

[anslu]

Hello,
I'm working on deploying Zabbix on HA setup, however I noted some limitations. Based on the documentation, Zabbix nodes in HA uses the same database from single host, it means that once there's HostA with Zabbix database marked as active and HostB without DB marked as passive, in case of switch it will try to use DB at HostA, correct? So what's the point of using this setup, if database is still single point of failure? Usually in HA cluster there are two twin like nodes and if A goes down, then B becomes the main host.

Isn't it simply easier to deploy Zabbix Server + Proxies? What's the benefit of the HA setup?

By setting up HA, you should not just make server HA, but also a DB. Set it up in separate host(s), make them replicate, put a LB/proxy in front of them so you always hit the active one.. . And also frontend, seprate hosts etc...
There is no point in making just one part HA, no point of setting up HA with 2 all-in-one instances...
