Availability estimates for Service Guard

Alan Riggs — Fri, 08 Dec 2000 14:36:02 GMT

I need availability estimates for a service guard environment to had off to management. I am sure they are somewhere, but I haven't found the magic search string yet. Anyone have link handy?

I found a PDF file at http://www.unix.hp.com/highavailability/ar/mcserviceguard/infolibrary/mcserviceguard.pdf that might help.

There are some other similar documents at http://www.unix.hp.com/highavailability/

Hope this helps.

I get only a blank page from the url, whether I hit the link directly or drill down from the general page.

Still can't see the .pdf file.

Anybody else have some information on expected availability from service guard configurations?

Hi Alan,
I have heard a few things like the 5 9s which is meant to be something like 99.999% but I think this is via superdome etc with redundant backplanes. But I think MCSG has something like 99.95% is you use their (HPs) Mission Critical Server Suites. Anyway I have attached the PDF just incase you cant get it.
