How to use the LUN of one HP-UX server to another server

[senthil_kumar_1]

Hi sujit kumar singh,

I am new to failover / cluster environment.

I have some questions:

1)What type of failover available in HP-UX?

2)what type of cluster available in HP-UX?

3)What is purpose of smart (i forget the name come in trailer), i think it is cluster software?

Shalom again,


1)What type of failover available in HP-UX?
Do it yourself
Service Guard. A fully integrated suite of tools to run applications in high availability mode.
Auto Port Aggretation, network card teaming

Both SG and APA are licensed products that require increased support and codes to unlock the software.


2)what type of cluster available in HP-UX?
From HP Active-Passive.
With Oracle tools and shared storage Active-active clustering is possible, even without SG.


3)What is purpose of smart (i forget the name come in trailer), i think it is cluster software?

Sorry no idea. I'm not smart i guess. Google has access to way more information than my pea brain molecules.

Can i use same above method in Redhat and Suse linx to use the VG of one server in another server?

So can i use above procedures for this?

Shalom,

Answer to your last question:
No. LVM was not a recompile of the same source code of HP-UX on Linux. It was a feature port, most of the features work the same way, but there are some very cool additional features on the Linux side.

I need the docs to above mentioned software for following purpose:

1)How to configure -- docs provided.

2)what is the difference. APA simply lets you team network ports to create two or more ports being the same IP address on a single machine. It improves NETWORK reliability and availability only.

3)Advantages and disadvantages

APA is network only. Service Guard lets you run packages on any node in the cluster. That provides a higher probability of uptime.
