How do you make system fault tolerant?
There is no easy answer here, but it requires some experience and solid understanding of how the system works, the service that it is intended to provide, and the probable ways that it can fail to provide that service... (Software crash, hardware failure, network outage, power outage, hardware breaks, etc)... There are many buzzwords that come out of this careful study and analysis... here are a few to' think about... -Single Points of Failure -Redundancy -Active/Standby -Active/Active -Crosschecking -Fencing off (related to making sure bad hardware stays down and doesn't come back up and online for another disastrous failure, or service outage. -Hot Swap (as in HS power supplies and hard drives) -Disaster Recovery Center -Continuous Backup That should be a good start to the understanding. It is not for the weak or inexperienced as normally, there is a lot of money (or liability) riding on fault tolerant systems, and some very serious consequences can happen as a result of a service/system failure.
