HyperFabric Configuration Guidelines

Hyper Messaging Protocol (HMP)

Enterprise (Database) - Local Failover Supported Configuration

The HMP enterprise configuration is a scalable solution. For high

availability and performance, you can easily scale the HMP enterprise

configuration with multiple connections between the HyperFabric

resources. Any single point of failure in the database tier of the fabric is

eliminated in the Local Failover Supported Enterprise Configuration

(see Figure 8).

Figure 8 Local Failover Supported Enterprise (Database) Configuration,

Multiple Connections Between Nodes

In this configuration, if a HyperFabric resource (adapter, cable, switch or

switch port) fails in a cluster, HMP transparently fails over traffic using

another available resource. This is accomplished using card pairs. A
