Designing Disaster Recovery Clusters using Metroclusters and Continentalclusters, Reprinted October 2011 (5900-1881)

Preface
The following two guides describe disaster tolerant clusters solutions using Serviceguard, Metrocluster
with Continuous Access for P9000 and XP, Metrocluster Continuous Access EVA, Metrocluster
EMC SRDF, and Continentalclusters:
• Understanding and Designing Serviceguard Disaster Tolerant Architectures
• Designing Disaster Recovery HA Clusters Using Metrocluster and Continentalclusters
The Understanding and Designing Serviceguard Disaster Tolerant Architectures guide provides an
overview of Hewlett-Packard Disaster Tolerant high availability cluster technologies and how to
configure an extended distance cluster using Serviceguard. It is assumed you are already familiar
with Serviceguard high availability concepts and configurations.
The contents are as follows:
• Chapter 1, Disaster Tolerance and Recovery in a Serviceguard Cluster, is an overview of
disaster tolerant cluster configurations.
• Chapter 2, Building an Extended Distance Cluster Using Serviceguard, shows the creation of
disaster tolerant cluster solutions using extended distance Serviceguard cluster configurations.
The Designing Disaster Recovery HA Clusters Using Metrocluster and Continentalclusters guide
provides detailed, task-oriented documentation on how to configure, manage, and set up disaster
tolerant clusters using Metrocluster with Continuous Access for P9000 and XP, Metrocluster
Continuous Access EVA, Metrocluster EMC SRDF, Continentalclusters, and Three Data Center
Architecture.
The contents are as follows:
• Chapter 1, Designing a Metropolitan Cluster, shows the creation of disaster tolerant cluster
solutions using the metropolitan cluster products.
• Chapter 2, Designing a Continentalclusters, shows the creation of disaster tolerant solutions
using the Continentalclusters product.
• Chapter 3, Building Disaster Recovery Serviceguard Solutions Using Metrocluster with
Continuous Access for P9000 and XP, shows how to integrate physical data replication via
Continuous Access P9000 and XP with metropolitan and Continentalclusters.
• Chapter 4, Building Disaster Recovery Serviceguard Solutions Using Metrocluster with
Continuous Access EVA, shows how to integrate physical data replication via Continuous
Access EVA with metropolitan and Continentalclusters.
• Chapter 5, Building Disaster Recovery Serviceguard Solutions Using Metrocluster with EMC
SRDF, shows how to integrate physical data replication via EMC Symmetrix disk arrays. Also,
it shows the configuration of a special Continentalclusters that uses more than two disk arrays.
• Chapter 6, Building Disaster Recovery Serviceguard Solutions Using Metrocluster with 3PAR
Remote Copy shows how to integrate physical data replication via HP 3PAR Remote Copy
with Metrocluster and Continentalclusters.
• Chapter 7, Designing a Disaster Recovery Solution Using Site Aware Disaster Tolerant
Architecture, describes how to configure a site aware disaster tolerant architecture in a
Metrocluster with Oracle Database 10gR2 RAC.
• Chapter 8, Designing a Disaster Recovery Solution Using the Three Data Center Architecture,
shows how to integrate synchronous replication (for data consistency) and Continuous Access
journaling (for long-distance replication) using Serviceguard, Metrocluster with Continuous
Access for P9000 and XP, Continentalclusters and HP StorageWorks P9000 or XP 3DC Data
Replication Architecture.
A set of appendixes and a glossary provide additional reference information.
