Re: [U2] Does UniVerse work with clusters of Unix machines?

2008-02-04 Thread Louie Bergsagel 
UniVerse release 10.1.12

I am not using UV Transaction Logging or Replication.

I'd like to be able to hook our IBM P570 and P650, and a Linux PC together,
and have one instance of UniVerse using all computers, balancing the load
between them, and sharing files and accounts between them (e.g. LOGTO P570
or LOGTO P650).

I've never heard of IBM's HACMP clustering software. I will look into it.
Thanks for the info.

It depends what you mean by work with and how you have your cluster
configured.

Are you using IBM's HACMP clustering software? If so, how is it
configured now for your non-UV apps?

What benefits are you expecting from clustering?

Do you have UV Transaction Logging or Replication in use now?

What version of UniVerse are you using?

There are lots to issues to consider in a clustered environment.

I manage non-U2 based applications under IBM AIX HACMP and Windows
Cluster services. Each address different technical and business
requirements. Both address a base requirement of high-availability with
very miniminal downtime and automated failover to the alternate cluster
nodes in response to either software and/or hardware failure - that is
transparent to the end-user, as much as possible.

For your IBM AIX environment, you should get familiar with the many
HACMP options, see http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/c2348618.pdf
which is from this webpage:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clresctr/vxrx/index.jsp?topic=/

Does UniVerse work with clusters of Unix machines?  Such as two or three
IBM P650's (System Model: IBM,7038-6M2)?

And/or a mixture of operating systems, like Unix on one box and Linux on
another (PC)?

Short answer: yes. Look into uv/net. You can also define remote pointers in
your voc, but then you won't be locking on the remote box. Last time I
checked, you could not use uv/net between two boxes with the same license
number, in those very rare instances where someone has a site license.
