This post builds upon the earlier article (Creating a simple Cluster on a single LINUX host) which explained how to install and run a Cluster where all of the nodes run on the same physical host. The single host solution is not great for a real deployment - MySQL Cluster is designed to provide a High Availability (HA) solution by synchronously replicating data between data nodes - if all of the data nodes run on a single host that that machine is a single point of failure. This article demonstrates how to split the nodes between hosts; the configuration will still be fairly simple, using just 2 machines but it should be obvious how to extend it to more.
