1 Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA P6000 for Linux Version B.12.00.00 Release Notes Announcements Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA P6000 for Linux is a Hewlett-Packard high availability product for Serviceguard customers requiring integrated disaster recovery solutions with HP EVA P6000 Series. Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA P6000 for Linux Version B.12.00.
Support for Enhanced Asynchronous Replication Mode Metrocluster for Linux supports Enhanced Asynchronous write mode with P6000/EVA arrays. In this mode, the host receives an I/O completion acknowledgement after the data is successfully written to the disk based log/journal, which is used to queue the writes, which occurs after the data is written to the local cache. The asynchronous replication process reads the I/O from the journal and replicates it, using current methodologies, to destination P6000/EVA.
Support for persistent reservations Metrocluster for Linux supports configuring persistent reservations (PR) in Metrocluster packages to control access to LUNs. For more information on persistent reservation, see Managing HP Serviceguard A.12.00.00 for Linux available at http://www.hp.com/go/linux-serviceguard-docs. Support for Device Mapper Metrocluster for Linux supports configuring Device Mapper for disks used in Metrocluster packages.
