Re: memory failure and CPU failure? in HP-UX rp4440
It is possible to have a CPU fail and the system NOT crash. This is entirely up to the OS though. The system can automatically deconfigure it and keep running, if you have more than 1 CPU. Again, this depends entirely on how it fails.
With RAM failure, again, it depends. You can have LPMC and single-bit memory errors which will not cause a crash. If you run into an HPMC or a DIMM/SIMM fails completely, then there is nothing you can do. The machine will crash.
Serviceguard does not come into play with these. Serviceguard will allow your application to come up on another machine should the primary machine fail. However, there is no real way to prevent a machine from crashing if the right (or wrong) component fails.

Re: memory failure and CPU failure? in HP-UX rp4440
In service guard, we create a cluster
Cluster will be configured for monitoring hardware only or hardware and software
Cluster will be prevent crash of a server , if a server crash, activity will be transfered on a server to continue service
It's possible to monitoring software ressource for detect crash and transfert activity to seondary node for example

Re: memory failure and CPU failure? in HP-UX rp4440
Only when the system encounters recoverable CPU errors and single-bit memory errors , LPMC then system will recover from the error and not actually crash. But eventually these single bit errors and recoverable CPU errors may convert into unrecoverable errors and system crashes.
So best thing would be to monitor errors for these recoverable errors and check if these are very frequent/repetitive then there could be some hardware problem. But some errors may not be really due to faulty hardware and may have occured occassionally.
So final answer would be same - you cannot do much to prevent a system from crashing.
But again as Torsten has provided a different perspective, as he usually does, - HP Nonstop servers.

Ninad

Re: memory failure and CPU failure? in HP-UX rp4440
Maybe we will see this in combination with HP-UX someday, but it shows, HA ideas like a RAID1 or RAID5 over the RAM is not only a theory.
Hope this helps!

Re: memory failure and CPU failure? in HP-UX rp4440
Now THAT would be a truly high availablity system. If HP can come out with something like this that will run HP-UX/Linux/OpenVMS/RHEL/MSWindows/etc... people would be flocking to it.

Re: memory failure and CPU failure? in HP-UX rp4440
Another question. In a non-serviceguard env, In case of a LAN failure is there a way to configure automatic failover to secondary LAN card?
