An Assure MIMIX for AIX Highly Available (HA) production server configuration is supported with PowerHA (HACMP). In this setup, the production server is highly available under PowerHA with a 2-node cluster (primary and secondary production servers). The data from the active production server will be replicated to a single recovery server, which is outside the PowerHA cluster. This section describes how you configure Assure MIMIX for AIX in a HA production server environment.
In this mode:
-
There are two production nodes with shared disks between them.
-
Replication is to a third node that lies outside the cluster.
-
A Resource Group can only be moved between the two production nodes, and the Assure MIMIX for AIX roles of the nodes never changes.
-
Multiple Assure MIMIX for AIX Replication Group configurations are supported and can be online on different nodes.
