These include resource planning, that is, planning the desired behavior of the cluster in failur[...]

Cluster Planning 9 Much of the decision centers around the following ar eas: • Processor capacity • Application requirements • Anticipated gr owth requirements • I/ O slot requirements These paradigms are certainly not new ones, and are also important considerations when choosing a processor for a single-system environment. However , when d[...]

Cluster Planning 11 2.2 Cl uste r Networks HACMP differentiat es between two major types of networks: T CP/IP networks and non-TCP/IP networks. HACMP utilizes both of them for exchanging heartbeats. HACMP uses these heartbeats to diagnose failures in the cluster . Non-TCP/IP networks are used to distinguish an actual hardware failure from the failu[...]

HACMP for AIX has been tested with standard Ethernet interfaces (en *) but not with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interfaces (et*), where * [...]

Cluster Planning 13 Network types also differentiate themselves in the maximum distance they allow between adapters, and in the maximum number of adapters al lowed on a physical network. • Ethernet supports 10 and 100 Mbps currently , and supports hardware address swapping. Alternate hardware addr esses should be in the form xxxxxxxx xxyy , where[...]

14 IBM Certifica tion Stud y Gu ide AIX HA CMP • SP Switch is a high-speed packet switching network, running on the RS/6000 SP system only . It runs bidirectionally up to 80 MBps, which adds up to 160 MBps of capacity per adapt er . This is node-to-node communication and can be done in parallel between every pair of nodes inside an SP . The SP Sw[...]

Cluster Planning 15 2.2.2.2 Special C onsiderat ions As for TCP/IP networks, there are a number of restrictions on non-TCP/IP networks. These are explained for the three dif ferent types in more detail below . Serial (RS232) A serial (RS232) network needs at least one available serial por t per cluster node.

22 IBM Certifica tion Stud y Gu ide AIX HA CMP 2.3.1.4 RAID vs . Non-RAID RAID T echnology RAID is an acronym for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. Disk arrays are groups of disk drives that work together to achieve higher data-transfer and I/O rates than those provided by single large drives. Arrays can also provide data redundancy so that no [...]

Cluster Planning 23 RAID Leve ls 2 and 3 RAID 2 and RAID 3 are parallel process array mechanisms, where all drives in the array operate in unison. Similar to data st riping, information to be written to disk is s plit into chunks (a fixed amount of data), and each chunk is written out to the same physic al position on separate disks (in parallel).

Since takeover nodes continue providing s ervices until they have to leave the cluster , you should configure your cluster with nodes of equal power . While[...]

Cluster Planning 33 When a failed node reintegrates into the cluster , it takes back the resource group for which it has the highest priority . Therefore, even in this configuration, there is a break in serv ice during reintegration. Of course, if you look at it from the point of view of performance, this is the best thing to do, since you have one[...]

188 IBM Certific ation Stu dy Guid e AIX HAC MP The following is simply a shortened description on how kerberos works. For more details, the redbook Inside the RS/6000 SP , SG24-5145, covers the subject in much more detail. When dealing with authentication and Kerberos, three entities are involved: the client , who is requesting service f r om a se[...]

So, given a user has a ticket-granting ticket, if a user requests a kerberized service, he has to get a service ticket for it. In order to get one, the ker berized comm[...]

Special RS/6000 SP T opics 191 With reference to Figure 17 above, imagine tw o nodes, Node X and Node Y , running the same application. The nodes are connected by the switch and have locally-attached disks. On Node X’s disk resides a volume group containing the raw logical volume lv_X. Similarly , Node Y has lv_Y . For the sake of illustration, l[...]

192 IBM Certific ation Stu dy Guid e AIX HAC MP The VSDs in this scenario are mapped to the raw logical volumes lv_X and lv_Y . Node X is a client of Node Y’s VSD, and vice versa. Node X is also a direct client of its own VSD (lv_X), and N ode Y is a direct client of VSD lv_Y . VSD configuration is flexible. An interesting property of the archite[...]

Special RS/6000 SP T opics 193 impact of servicing a local I/O request through VSD relative to the normal VMM/L VM pathway is very small. IBM supports any IP network for VSD, but we recommend the switch for performance. VSD provides distributed data access, but not a locking mechanism to preserve data integrity .

Special RS/6000 SP T opics 195 9.4 SP Switc h as an HA CMP Network One of the fascinating things with an RS/6000 SP is the switch network. It has developed over time; so, currently there are two types of switches at customer sites. The “older” HPS or HiPS switch (High Performance Switch), also known as the TB2 switch, and the “newer” SP Swi[...]

196 IBM Certific ation Stu dy Guid e AIX HAC MP 9.4.2 Eprimary Mana gement The SP switch has an internal primary backup concept, where the primary node, known as the Eprimary , is backed up automatically by a backup node. So, in case any serious failure happens on the primary , it will resign from work, and the backup node will take over the switch[...]

Special RS/6000 SP T opics 197 In case this node was the Eprimary node on the switch net wor k, and it is an SP switch, then the RS/6000 SP software would have chosen a new Eprimary independently from the HACMP software as well.[...]
