FAILOVER OF SG LOAD BALANCER

Multiple SG load balancers could be setup to tolerate to fault of SG load balancer. The fault tolerant design of SG load balancer is fully symmetric. What you need is to make a diskcopy of SG system disk.

If there are identical hardwares on the other SG load balancer

boot the new SG load balancer with this copy

If there are different network interfaces on the other SG load balancer

boot the new SG load balancer with this copy
login, modify the 'public_interface' and 'private_interface' in /etc/sg.conf, update
boot again

Actually, a single cluster can have more than 2 load balancers. The number of load balancers is depending on how safe you need for your SG cluster.
