Preface
This guide describes how to configure disaster tolerant clusters using
MC/ServiceGuard, MetroCluster/CA, MetroCluster/SRDF, and
ContinentalClusters. The contents are as follows:
• Chapter 1, “Disaster Tolerance and Recovery in an MC/ServiceGuard
Cluster,” is an overview of disaster tolerant cluster configurations.
• Chapter 2, “Building an Extended Distance Cluster Using
MC/ServiceGuard,” describes campus cluster configurations using
MC/ServiceGuard.
• Chapter 3, “Building a Metropolitan Cluster Using
MetroCluster/CA,” describes the use of MetroCluster with
Continuous Access XP for creating disaster tolerant solutions using
the XP series disk arrays.
• Chapter 4, “Building a Metropolitan Cluster Using
MetroCluster/SRDF,” describes the use of MetroCluster with EMC
SRDF for creating disaster tolerant solutions using the EMC
Symmetrix disk arrays.
• Chapter 5, “Building a Continental Cluster,” describes the creation of
a continental cluster configuration.
• Chapter 6, “Physical Data Replication for ContinentalClusters Using
Continuous Access XP,” describes how to configure physical data
replication for a continental cluster using XP series disk arrays.
• Chapter 7, “Physical Data Replication for ContinentalClusters Using
EMC SRDF,” describes how to configure physical data replication for
a continental cluster using EMC Symmetrix disk arrays.
• Chapter 8, “Cascading Failover in a Continental Cluster,” describes
the configuration of a special continental cluster that uses more than
two disk arrays.
• Appendix A, “Environment File Variables for MetroCluster/CA,”
documents the environment template file variables used with
MetroCluster/CA and the XP series disk arrays.
• Appendix B, “Environment File Variables for MetroCluster/SRDF,”
documents the environment template file variables used with
MetroCluster/SRDF and the EMC Symmetrix disk arrays.
