[mick001]

Hi All,

We like to put a cluster in to diffent lokations. is it posseble the configure the service guard with to diffent ip subnets.
(one server on a subnet and the other server on the other subnet!)



THANKS

Hi,

No this is not possible ( using MC/SG) servers that are a part of a cluster must be on a bridged network (same vlan) It is possible to configure multiple vlans on a cluster.
If you want this kind of security you need to conbfigure a metro cluster.

Regards,

Gideon

all nodes in the same cluster must be on the same subnet, so the simple answer is no you canot do this.
Take a read of the Managing Serviceguard manual at:

Hi Gideon,

This is not exactly what I mean.

We want to put 1 node on a other location. In the other location is a different ip subnet.
Is this possible with mc/sg?

Or must the ip range always be the same?

THANKS

Like gideon already mentioned:
"on a bridged network (same vlan)"

This means in the same subnet, so diferent IP range is possible but the two ranges must be in the same subnet(0 hops, no gateway).

HTH,
Peter

Mick -- Take a look at the documentation on MetroCluster and Continental Cluster:

These are high avaialbility producsts similar to MC/Serviceguard but designed for longer distances:
