we had started ha/6000 in the 80s ... and then I coined the marketing term HA/CMP to also capture the work on cluster scaleup (work for both commercial and numerical intensive) ... more recently renamed PowerHA http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/availability/aix/index.html under my earlier name (high availability - cluster multi-processor) http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246375.html
various old email about cluster scaleup part http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html#medusa this references a Jan92 meeting in Ellison's conference room regarding the commercial scaleup part http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/95.html#13 less than a month later, the cluster scaleup was transferred and we were told we couldn't work on anything with more than four processors. A couple weeks later it was announced as supercomputer for numerical intensive only. before that had happened, I had been asked to write a section for the corporate continuous availability strategy document ... but then it was pulled when both Rochester and POK complained that they couldn't meet the objectives. misc. past posts mentioning ha/cmp http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#hacmp -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
