1 High Availability Cluster/iX
This guide documents the High Availability Cluster/iX utility for the HP e3000 systems.
The Cluster/iX product allows multiple computers to physically connect to a single set of disks, which are
configured using the Cluster/iX utility to control cluster volume sets. In the event that the owner computer
encounters a failure, another computer in the cluster can take over ownership of the cluster volume set.
Once installed, the Cluster/iX utility provides continued access to data on high availability disk array
products like the SureStore E Disk Array XP256, XP48, XP512, VA7100 and any other supported dual-ported
arrays.
