Multi-Processing for AIX 5L, V5.2 (HACMP V5.2).

For over a decade, IBM HACMP has provided reliable high availability
services, monitoring customers' pSeries servers and dependably performing
application failover to backup servers. The HACMP/XD feature provides
real-time data mirroring and disaster recovery for critical business
needs. The HACMP Smart Assist for WebSphere feature brings additional
high availability to end-user application environments.

Most application outages are caused not by hardware failures but by
network, application, or external causes. For over a decade, IBM HACMP
has provided reliable high availability services, monitoring customers'
IBM eServer pSeries servers and network connections and dependably
performing application failover to backup servers.

The optional HACMP Extended Distance (HACMP/XD) feature provides real-
time data mirroring and disaster recovery for critical business needs,
enabling you to protect business-critical applications and provide 24 x 7
service to your customers and staff. HACMP/XD includes three distinct
data mirroring and disaster recovery solutions:

Highlights of Version 5.2.0

HACMP V5.2 includes the following new or enhanced features:

New policy-based cluster manager delivers more responsive
failover - The policy-based cluster manager has been enhanced to
provide more flexibility moving resources as a result of failures. All
resource movement decisions are made by the cluster manager after
evaluating resource dependencies. Since all policy decisions are made by
the cluster manager, no end user script modifications are required to
manage or respond to failures of any supported resource.

Two-node configuration wizard - The two-node
configuration wizard simplifies the process for configuring an HACMP
cluster that includes two nodes and associated volume groups, networks,
service IP labels and applications. The wizard guides you through the
configuration process and provides on-line user assistance to help you
enter correct information for the five entry fields. The application is
designed for users �with little knowledge of HACMP who want to quickly
set up a basic two-node cluster with one nonconcurrent resource group,
one application server, volume groups, and one service label.

Test Tool for easier verification of cluster behavior -
You can use the Cluster Test Tool to test your new or changed HACMP
configuration to evaluate how a cluster behaves under a set of specified
circumstances, such as when a node or network becomes inaccessible, a
resource group moves from one node to another, and so forth. You can let
the test run unattended and evaluate results at a later time.

Improved security - In addition to connection
authentication to protect HACMP communications between cluster nodes,
HACMP now provides additional security for HACMP messages sent between
nodes. Message authentication ensures the origination and integrity of a
message. �Message encryption changes the appearance of the data as it is
transmitted and returns it to its original form when received by a node
that authenticates the message. �Supports MD5 and DES, Triple DES and
AES.

Simplified Resource Groups definition methods - In HACMP
5.2, all resource groups are configured in the same way as you configured
custom resource groups in the previous release. All groups are referred
to simply as resource groups.

More flexible policy for resource group startup - This
policy ensures that during a node or cluster startup, only one resource
group is brought on-line on a node (node distribution), or on a node per
network (network distribution). The start order for your resources can
now be explicitly set with a more straight forward method.

Simpler configuration of complex clusters - Configuring a
resource group dependency allows for easier configuration and control for
clusters with multi-tier applications where one application depends on
the successful startup of another application, and both applications are
required to be kept highly available with HACMP. Dependencies that you
configure are explicitly specified using the SMIT interface, and are
established cluster-wide.

HACMP File Collections - Provides an easy way to request
that a list of files be kept in sync across the cluster. Using HACMP
File Collections, you no longer have to manually copy an updated file to
every cluster node, verify that the file is properly copied, and confirm
that each node has the same version of it. �HACMP also detects when a
file in a file collection is deleted or if the file size is changed to
zero, and logs a message to inform the administrator. �Two predefined
HACMP file collections are installed by default, to control system files
and HACMP files.

Automatic cluster configuration checking by the cluster
verification utility. - By default, HACMP 5.2 runs the clverify
utility automatically on the node that is first in alphabetical order,
once every 24 hours at midnight. HACMP notifies the cluster
administrator if problems with the cluster configuration are detected.
�This action will reduce the risk that a change to the cluster may
negatively impact a cluster event at a later time.

Web-Based cluster management - Now you can configure,
monitor and manage your cluster from a web browser. HACMP 5.2 includes a
Web-enabled user interface (WebSMIT) that provides consolidated access to
the HACMP SMIT functions for configuration and management, a new
interactive cluster status display and links to the HACMP
documentation.�The WebSMIT interface is similar to the ASCII SMIT
interface so you do not need to learn a new user interface or
terminology. The Web-based Cluster Utilities use a Web browser and can
therefore be accessed from any platform.

Show "Cluster Applications" utility - This utility
displays your cluster configuration from an application point of view.
Cluster applications are listed first, followed by the topology
components (nodes, disks and networks) which service the application.
There are ASCII and Web (CGI) versions - the Web version lets you expand
and collapse sections of the display and the state of the cluster is
indicated with different color keys (for example, green indicates on-
line).

Resetting HACMP tunables values - You can change the
settings for a list of tunable values that were changed during the
cluster maintenance and reset them to their default settings, or
installation-time cluster settings. Resetting the tunable values to
their defaults helps to troubleshoot cluster performance and assists
third-party administrators (such as IBM support personnel) in case they
take over the administration of a cluster.

Cluster-wide password change for users - Users can now
change their password across cluster nodes when authorized to do so. A
new Cluster Password utility links to the AIX password utility to support
this change. System administrators enable the Cluster Password utility
on all nodes in a cluster or nodes in specified resource groups, then
give specified users permission to change their password on particular
nodes.

Online Planning Worksheets - The Online Planning
Worksheets application now lets you view the cluster definition for a
local, active HACMP cluster, and create a worksheets file from a local,
active cluster running HACMP 5.2 or greater. �You may also save a
cluster definition in a worksheets file from SMIT or from Online Planning
Worksheets.

Recovering Resource Groups on node startup - In HACMP
5.2, an attempt is made to bring on-line the resource groups that are
currently in the ERROR state, an action that required a manual
intervention in prior releases. This further increases the chances of
bringing the applications back on-line. When a node starts up, if a
resource group is in the ERROR state on any node in the cluster, this
node attempts to acquire the resource group. Note that the node must be
included in the nodelist for the resource group.

Cluster verification with auto-corrective actions - You
can now authorize a corrective action before clverify continues error
checking, when clverify detects conditions such as inconsistent
information about the contents volume groups across nodes, or missing
cluster information in system files such as /etc/hosts or /etc/services.

Resource Monitoring and Control (RMC) subsystem replaces RSCT
Event Management - HACMP 5.2 interfaces with the RSCT Resource
Monitoring and Control (RMC) subsystem instead of the Event Management
subsystem for instances of Dynamic Node Priority, Application Monitoring,
and User Defined Events.

Multiple application monitors - You can now configure
multiple application monitors and associate them with one or more
application servers. You can assign each monitor a unique name in SMIT.
Prior to HACMP 5.2, for each application that is kept highly available,
you could configure only one of the two types of monitors: a monitor to
check whether a specific process is terminated in the cluster, or a
monitor to check the state of the application by the means of a
customized script.

Application startup monitoring - You can configure
application monitors to function in the application startup monitoring
mode. The monitors in this mode monitor the startup of the application
server start script within the specified stabilization interval.
Specifying the application startup monitoring mode is strongly
recommended for applications included in resource groups on which other
resource group(s) depend.

Communications performance enhancements - Versions
previous to HACMP 5.2 use Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) to pass
information between the event scripts and cluster utilities of HACMP and
the Cluster Manager. In HACMP 5.2, a faster and more robust inter-
process communication (IPC) implementation replaces the use of RPC in the
Cluster Manager and its external utilities. Cluster events should take
less time to complete than in previous releases.

Cross-Site LVM mirroring - In HACMP 5.2, you can set up
disks located at two different sites for cross-site LVM mirroring (using
a Storage Area Network (SAN), for example). Cross-Site LVM mirroring
replicates data between the disk subsystems at each site for disaster
recovery. �HACMP 5.2 automatically synchronizes mirrors after a disk or
node failure and subsequent reintegration. HACMP handles the automatic
mirror synchronization even if one of the disks is in the PVREMOVED or
PVMISSING state. The automatic synchronization is not possible for all
cases, but you can use C-SPOC to synchronize the data from the surviving
mirrors to stale mirrors after a disk/site failure and subsequent
reintegration.

Extended Distance support for eRCMF - HACMP/XD for ESS
PPRC increases data availability for IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage
Server (ESS) volumes that use Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy (PPRC) to copy
data to a remote site for disaster recovery purposes. With HACMP 5.2,
you can use the (optional) Enterprise Remote Copy Management Facility
(eRCMF) with HACMP/XD for ESS PPRC.

Optional HACMP/XD Extended Distance feature for ESS/PPRC and
IP-based mirroring configurations.
system level (such as with GPFS), at the application level (such as DB2,
Oracle, or WebSphere), or at the site level (such as to support disaster
recovery), HACMP has features and options to assist you with successful
integration into your environment. After your cluster is configured, the
changes are synchronized accurately across all nodes and the cluster can
be monitored easily with methods appropriate to your environment.

The optional HACMP/XD and HACMP Smart Assist features provide
additional automated data backup, disaster recovery, and database
environment configuration assistance, to help protect your business, and
are described in detail below.

All of the facilities of HACMP are available for and with IBM's
pSeries Capacity on Demand (CoD), On/Off CoD, and Capacity Backup (CBU)
offerings. This enables customers to configure clusters that are
scalable, and to easily expand cluster's CPU and memory capacity as the
need arises, without having to pay upfront for hardware that is not yet
used.

Highlights of Version 5.3

New features that make HACMP V5.3 simpler:

New applications to help you easily integrate database applications
into an HACMP cluster:

Smart Assist for DB2

Smart Assist for Oracle

New SMIT interface for Smart Assist for WebSphere

Automatic verification and synchronization of cluster configuration
Enhancements to cluster verification enable you to bring a node online
more quickly and to minimize network downtime. HACMP automatically
verifies and synchronizes nodes joining active clusters and nodes in
inactive configurations. HACMP automatically checks for and ensures that
many parameters set in cluster nodes are the same across the cluster.
HACMP corrects these inconsistencies upon cluster startup. Verification
now also detects potential single points-of-failure that were previously
only discovered via the automatic error notification function.

Out-of-the-box support for Veritas(**) volumes and file systems, and
accommodation of OEM volumes and file systems

You can configure OEM volume groups and file systems in AIX 5L and use
HACMP as an IBM high availability solution to manage such volume groups,
their corresponding file systems, and application servers. In
particular, HACMP for AIX 5L 5.3 automatically detects volume groups
created with the Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) using Veritas Foundation
Suite V4.0.

ASCII-based Cluster Definition File

Online Planning Worksheets now saves worksheet configuration
information to an XML file by default. This XML worksheet file can be
created or modified using the Online Planning Worksheets application, a
cluster snapshot, manual edit, or SMIT. This makes it possible for you
to easily configure a new cluster from a previously saved snapshot.

Enhanced support for complex multitiered applications (resource group
location dependencies)

In addition to policies for individual resource groups and
parent/child dependencies, HACMP 5.3 offers policies to handle cluster-
wide resource group location dependencies. You easily define these run-
time policies for selected groups using the user interface so that:

Certain resource groups will always be online on the same node

Certain resource groups will always be online on different nodes

Certain resource groups (with replicated resources) will always be
online on the same site

Cluster Information Program (Clinfo) enhancements

The Clinfo client API requests now contain version information. This
provides full version compatibility without the need for clients to
recompile (as in previous releases).

New architecture for communication between Clinfo and the Cluster
Manager improves both performance and usability of HACMP 5.3:

Streamlining of SNMP server functions

The Cluster Manager daemon now explicitly controls the startup and
shutdown of dependent software, such as RSCT, and the utility to manage
enhanced concurrent mode volume groups (gsclvmd).

SNMP queries are available all the time, even if no cluster is
configured, allowing you to view the state of the nodes.

Additional cluster verifications

Verification now performs additional checks that enable you to
maintain a homogeneous cluster configuration. Some of these checks are
now done for issues that you previously had to fix manually, or
inconsistencies that created some maintenance problems. In HACMP 5.3, a
new set of these checks ensures that your cluster runs smoother and that
all utilities are in agreement about numerous cluster settings.

clhosts file automatically populated

HACMP now makes it easier for you to properly create the clhosts file
on cluster nodes. During verification, HACMP 5.3 automatically collects
all available IP addresses and adds that information into the clhosts
file on the server node. You can now copy the clhosts file to your
client nodes as needed by Clinfo and any other utilities.

SMS pager capability

HACMP 5.3 adds new methods of custom pager notification. You can send
text message notification to any address, including a cell phone. You
can issue a customized page (numeric or alphanumeric page, or text
messaging) in response to a cluster event.

New features that enhance geographic distance capability

These features increase the capability for distributing the cluster
over a geographic distance for improved availability and disaster
recovery:

HACMP/XD includes three distinct disaster recovery solutions:

Geographic Logical Volume Manager (GLVM) for AIX 5L logical volumes

Metro Mirroring (PPRC) for ESS and SVC storage systems

High Availability Geographic Cluster for AIX 5L (HAGEO)

Increased control of disaster recovery configuration is now available
under all three HACMP features (except where otherwise noted). Resource
groups are now "site-aware" -- the Cluster Manager or you can move them
dynamically as necessary, within or across sites. HACMP 5.3 supports:

Parallel processing of primary and secondary instances of HACMP/XD
resource groups by default

Clear site management policies for the startup, fallover, and
fallback behavior of both instances of any HACMP/XD resource group

Dynamic reconfiguration (DARE) in all HACMP/XD configurations

Changes to cluster nodes, networks and IP interfaces in both HACMP
and HACMP/XD clusters without stopping the cluster services

Most resource configuration changes - primary and secondary instances
- - according to the resource group's policy

Consolidation of HACMP cluster verification in HACMP/XD
configurations.

standard TCP/IP networks. HACMP/XD GLVM, IBM's solution for geographic
backup and disaster recovery for IBM eServer pSeries servers,
supports AIX 5L
logical volumes to help keep your business running.
HACMP/XD GLVM exploits IP to enable one or two
copies of an AIX 5L logical
volume to be located at a remote site separated by
unlimited distance, thus
allowing for automated failover to that remote site
with minimal risk of
loss of any data.

disaster recovery across geographically-dispersed clusters,
protecting business-critical
applications against disasters that affect an
entire site.
The HACMP/XD product provides several high availability technologies that
extend the business-critical reliability function provided by HACMP V5 to
support sites that are geographically distant from each other.
Previously,
HACMP/XD included ESS Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy (PPRC) and
Enterprise Remote Copy Management Facility (eRCMF),
as well as IP-based mirroring ("HAGEO").
PPRC is now supported for both ESS and SVC storage systems.
In addition,
HACMP/XD Geographic Logical Volume Manager (GLVM) is a new IP-based
mirroring technology.
HACMP/XD GLVM data replication is built upon AIX 5L's Logical Volume
Manager (LVM), using it to drive replication and synchronization of AIX
logical volumes.
HACMP/XD takes the business-critical function provided by HACMP V5 and
extends it to support copies of logical volumes that are
geographically distant from each other.

clusters using SNMP. HACMP provides a management information base (MIB)
that contains information about cluster topology and state. HAView
displays the configuration and state of the clusters and cluster
components through the NetView graphical user interface. HAView allows
you to search through a series of nested submaps that reflect the state
of all the nodes, networks, and network addresses configured in a
particular cluster.

HATivoli allows you to monitor the state of an HACMP
cluster and its components through your Tivoli Framework enterprise
management system. Using various windows of the Tivoli Desktop, you can

Ease-of-Use

Two Node Configuration Assistant

Simplifies the process of configuring a two-node HACMP cluster when
the individual nodes are already connected to shared disks and networks.
This tool is designed to allow users with basic knowledge of HACMP to
quickly and correctly set up a basic two-node cluster containing one
nonconcurrent resource group, one application server, all shared volume
groups and one service label.

Cluster Test Tool

Tests an HACMP cluster by generating specific events such as node and
network failures, resource group movements and so forth. It can be run
unattended, providing a report of the results. This tool is intended to
help validate an initial HACMP configuration prior to its use in a
production environment and after configuration changes while the cluster
is still out of service.

Simplified Resource Group Definition

All resource groups are defined in terms of explicit policies, in the
same way as custom resource groups were configured in the prior release.
Existing resource groups are converted on migration.

Dependent Resource Groups

Resource groups can be configured as dependencies for other resource
groups. This allows for easier configuration and control in clusters
with multi-tier applications, where one application depends on the
successful startup of another, and all are required to be kept highly
available by HACMP. Dependencies are cluster-wide; the applications need
not be running on the same node.

In HAMCP 5.3, with the addition of
resource group location dependencies,
resource groups can now be kept together on the same node or the same
site. Or, they can always be kept on separate nodes and/or separate
sites. This allows the system administrators to plan for and configure
more complex environments, where not just one but several inter-dependent
applications are kept highly available and are started or being run on
specific sets of nodes. The HACMP publications contain real-life
examples of multi-tier application production environments.

Additionally, resource groups can be automatically distributed at
startup time, so that only one is brought on-line on a node This assists
in load balancing across the cluster.

File Collections

Automatically keeps a specified list of files in sync across the
cluster. HACMP also detects when a file in a file collection is deleted
or truncated, and logs a message to inform the cluster administrator.
Two predefined HACMP file collections are installed by default, to ensure
that critical HACMP and system files are kept in sync.

Cluster Verification with auto correction

Cluster Verification in HACMP 5.3 checks for a wider variety of
issues, and applies more automatic corrections, than in previous
releases. The issues that HACMP now identifies as incorrect could have
been misconfigured in the cluster configuration in the previous releases
without necessarily breaking the cluster. A list of errors for which
HACMP's verification utility takes corrective actions is included in
Chapter 6 of the Administration Guide. The clverify utility can be
authorized to correct inconsistencies it detects such as volume group
definitions, or missing cluster information in system files.

Automatic Cluster Configuration Checking

Automatically runs the clverify utility at midnight on one cluster
node. HACMP notifies the cluster administrator if problems are detected.
This reduces the risk that a configuration change will cause a failure at
a later time.

Web-based Cluster Management

A browser-based user interface (WebSMIT) provides consolidated access
to the HACMP SMIT functions for configuration and management, a new
interactive cluster status display and links to HACMP documentation.
This is similar to the ASCII SMIT interface, so should be familiar to
existing users. Being web based, it can be access from any platform.
HACMP V5 also ensures that WebSMIT, as well as other HACMP utilities that
are accessible remotely, are completely secure.

Display Cluster Applications

Provides an application-centric view of the cluster configuration,
with applications listed first, and for each of them, the nodes, volume
groups and networks associated with that application. ASCII and Web
based versions are provided. The web based version supports expanding
and collapsing sections of the display; the state of cluster objects is
indicated with different colors.

Cluster-wide User Password Change

A new cluster password utility links to the AIX 5L password utility to
allow users to change their passwords across the cluster, when authorized
by the cluster administrator.

Additional functionality

Recover Planning Worksheets

The Online Planning Worksheets tool can recover the planning
worksheets for an existing cluster.

Application Monitoring

Multiple monitors can now be specified for an application, allowing
both a custom monitor, and process death monitors to be in place.
Additionally, the application can be monitored during startup - that is,
during the initial stabilization interval. This is strongly recommended
for applications in resource groups on which other resource groups
depend.

Reset HACMP Tunables

Resets the various tunables in the HACMP configuration to the install
time default, restoring the cluster to a known initial state. This
assists in troubleshooting cluster problems, and can provide a known
starting point for administrators taking over an existing cluster.

Security

Builds on the existing connection authentication in HACMP and the
CtSec facility of RSCT to provide message authentication. This ensures
the origination and integrity of a message and prevents spoofing attacks
against the HACMP communications daemons. For further security, message
encryption can be specified. Supports MD5, DES, Tripple DES and AES
encrypt.

Optional HACMP/XD (Extended Distance) feature

HACMP/XD (Extended Distance) option provides automated data backup and
disaster recovery across geographically-dispersed clusters, protecting
business-critical applications against disasters that affect an entire
site. HACMP/XD provides data mirroring functions (which are not provided
in base HACMP) and drives automatic mirror resynchronization after a site
outage.

This optional feature of HACMP V5
offers, in a single package, multiple
technologies for achieving long distance data mirror, failover, and
resynchronization:

HACMP/XD Geographic Logical Volume Manager (GLVM) is a software-based
technology for mirroring mission-critical data over standard TCP/IP
networks. GLVM supports AIX 5L logical volumes to help keep your
business running. HACMP/XD GLVM exploits IP to enable one or two copies
of an AIX 5L logic volume to be located at a remote site separated by
unlimited distance, thus allowing for automated failover to that remote
site with minimal risk of loss of any data. GLVM uses host-based (LVM)
mirroring to replicate data between disk enclosures via a SAN (Storage
Area Network).

HACMP/XD support of IBM ESS Metro Mirroring (formerly known as PPRC),
and SVC PPRC provides automatic failover of
disks that are PPRC pairs and creates a powerful solution for customers
on ESS and SVC with PPRC. By automating the management of PPRC,
recovery time is minimized after an outage, regardless of whether the
clustered environment is local or geographically dispersed. HACMP/XD in
combination with PPRC manages your clustered environment to ensure
mirroring of critical data is maintained at all times. HACMP/XD also
supports the ESS Enterprise Remote Copy Management Facility. eRCMF
provides significantly enhanced ease of configuration and management for
PPRC.

HACMP/XD IP-based mirroring provides the well-known unlimited
distance data mirroring of the former IBM HAGEO product. IP-based
mirroring allows a cluster of pSeries computers to be placed in two
widely separated geographic locations, each maintaining an exact replica
of the application and data. Data synchronization during production,
failover, recovery, and restoration is provided. HACMP/XD is independent
of the disk storage used. RAID or mirroring can be used for local
protection. HACMP/XD IP-based mirroring is done at the logical volume
layer.

Optional HACMP Smart Assist feature

Smart Assist builds upon existing DB2, Oracle, and WebSphere
availability strategies to deliver even higher levels of availability for
your database environment by integrating the power of HACMP for AIX 5L
for monitoring and recovering from failures of system-level services and
components. Smart Assist expands HACMP auto-discovery features to
simplify and streamline the configuration process. These auto-discovery
features automatically detect components of your database environment and
nominate them for configuration into HACMP; components such as networks
(IP and point-to-point), network adapters and devices, volume groups, and
file systems.

HACMP Smart Assists extend HACMP's
power of monitoring different customer
applications and integrating HACMP clusters with these applications.
HACMP Smart Assists also recover system-level services and applications'
components from failures, reducing applications downtime.

For each of these services that you choose to protect in your database
environment, Smart Assist will scan your existing database and HACMP
configurations. It will then draw upon its own knowledge base of optimal
integrations for the two products, and automatically create the HACMP
configuration necessary to monitor the WebSphere services and recover
from failures. The net result is reduced time and effort to configure
the highest levels of availability for your WebSphere environment. That
means more time for you to focus on other important functions to drive
and support your on demand business.

Smart Assist does not replace HACMP or your database application, but
rather supplements them. You must install and configure your database so
that HACMP Smart Assist can gather the information required to protect
your database services. You must install HACMP on the systems you want
to be clustered, and configure your base network topology for the
cluster. This enables Smart Assist to determine which systems are
available to configure as backup for database services to be protected.

HACMP and Smart Assist increase the availability of a database
solution by:

Monitoring the Deployment Manager and automatically restarting it on
backup servers

Monitoring third-party products (such as a TDS server) and
automatically restarting them on backup servers if they fail

Ensuring that all necessary system resources (for example, storage
devices and IP addresses) are configured and made available on backup
servers in support of application migration.

HACMP does not support Virtual SCSI (VSCSI), or
Virtual LAN (VLAN) on POWER5 (eServer p5 and i5) models at this
time.

On both p5 and i5, the 520, 550, and 570 integrated serial
ports are not enabled
when the HMC ports are connected to a Hardware Management Console.
Either the HMC ports or the integrated serial ports
can be used, but not both. Moreover, the integrated serial ports
are supported only for modem
and async terminal connections. Any other applications using
serial ports, including HACMP, require a separate serial port
adapter to be installed in a PCI slot.

On i5 hardware, HACMP will run only in LPARs which are running
supported releases of AIX. In addition, I/O (LAN and disk
connections) must be directly attached to the LPARs in which
HACMP runs. I/O which is intended for use with HACMP is limited
to that which is listed below as supported in this Sales Manual.

HACMP does not by itself execute a high availability function beyond
the nodes in an HACMP cluster.

HACMP clusters containing multiple LPAR partitions within a single
pSeries server frame may contain only a single power frame, which would
represent a potential single-point-of-failure.

HACMP provides high availability for the applications and resources
executing on the nodes in the HACMP cluster. HACMP does not provide
availability beyond the realm of the cluster nodes. A high availability
implementation requires that there be no single points-of-failures (for
example, primary and backup HACMP's in LPAR partitions within a single
server frame).

HACMP can provide application high availability through failover of a

backup server could have processors and memory added through dynamic LPAR
operations, using facilities that are already part of the configuration.
Alternatively, the backup server could have processors and memory
