HP TruCluster Server V5.1  HP TruCluster Server Version 5.1 for HP Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1, the next generation in the TruCluster product line from HP, provides highly available and scalable solutions for mission-critical computing environments. TruCluster Server delivers powerful but easy-to-use UNIX clustering capabilities. TruCluster Server is an efficient and reliable platform for providing services to networked clients. To a client, the cluster appears to be a powerful single-server system; a client is impacted minimally, if at all, by hardware and software failures in the cluster. By combining the advantages of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), distributed computing, and fault resilience, a cluster running TruCluster Server offers high availability while providing scalability beyond the limits of a single system. On a single-system server, a hardware or software failure can severely disrupt a client's access to critical services. In a TruCluster Server cluster, a hardware or software failure on one member system results in the other members providing these services to clients. By extending single-system management capabilities to clusters, TruCluster Server reduces the effort and complexity of cluster administration. It provides a clusterwide namespace for files and directories, including a single root file system that all cluster members share. A common cluster address (cluster alias) for the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) makes the cluster appear as a single system to its network clients while load balancing client connections across member systems. A single system image allows a cluster to be managed more easily than distributed systems. TruCluster Server cluster members share a single root file system and common system configuration files. Therefore, most management tasks need to be done only once for the entire cluster rather than repeatedly for each cluster member. The cluster can be managed either locally from any of its members or remotely using Tru64 UNIX Web-based management tools. Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server software, and applications, are installed only once. Most network applications, such as the Apache Web server, need to be configured only once in the cluster and can be managed more easily in a cluster than on distributed systems. A choice of graphical, Web-based, or command-line user interfaces makes management tasks easier for the administrator, flexible for those with large configurations, and streamlined for expert users. TruCluster Server facilitates deployment of services that remain highly available even though they have no embedded knowledge they are running in a cluster. Applications can access their disk data from any cluster member. TruCluster Server also provides the support for components of distributed applications to run in parallel, providing high availability while taking advantage of cluster-specific synchronization mechanisms and performance optimizations. TruCluster Server allows the processing components of an application to concurrently access raw devices or files, regardless of where the storage is located in the cluster. Member-private storage and clusterwide shared storage are equally accessible to all cluster members. Using either standard UNIX file locks or the distributed lock manager (DLM), an application can synchronize clusterwide access to shared resources, maintaining data integrity. TruCluster Server simplifies the mechanisms of making applications highly available. A cluster application availability (CAA) facility records the dependencies of, and transparently monitors the state of, registered applications. If a hardware or software failure prevents one member from running a service, the failover mechanism automatically relocates the service a surviving member in the cluster, which maintains the availability of applications and data. Administrators can manually relocate applications for load balancing or hardware maintenance. TCP-based and UDP-based applications can also take advantage of the cluster alias subsystem. These applications, depending on their specific characteristics, can run on a single cluster member or simultaneously on multiple members. The cluster alias subsystem routes client requests to any member participating in that cluster alias. During normal operations, client connections are dynamically distributed among multiple service instances according to administrator-provided metrics. TruCluster Server supports a variety of hardware configurations that are cost-effective and meet performance needs and availability requirements. Hardware configurations can include different types of systems and storage units, and can be set up to allow easy maintenance. In addition, administrators can set up hardware configurations that allow the addition of a system or storage unit without shutting down the cluster. TruCluster Server requires a PCI-based Memory Channel interconnect for fast and reliable communication between cluster members.

HP TruCluster Server Version 5.1 for HP Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1, the next generation in the TruCluster product line from HP, provides

highly available and scalable solutions for mission-critical computing environments. TruCluster Server delivers powerful but easy-to-useUNIX clustering capabilities.TruCluster Server is an efficient and reliable platform for providing services to networked clients. To a client, the cluster appears to be apowerful single-server system; a client is impacted minimally, if at all, by hardware and software failures in the cluster.By combining the advantages of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), distributed computing, and fault resilience, a cluster running TruClusterServer offers high availability while providing scalability beyond the limits of a single system. On a single-system server, a hardware or software failure can severely disrupt a client's access to critical services. In a TruCluster Server cluster, a hardware or software failure onone member system results in the other members providing these services to clients.By extending single-system management capabilities to clusters, TruCluster Server reduces the effort and complexity of cluster administration. It provides a clusterwide namespace for files and directories, including a single root file system that all cluster membersshare. A common cluster address (cluster alias) for the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) makes the cluster appear as a single system to its

network clients while load balancing client connections across member systems.A single system image allows a cluster to be managed more easily than distributed systems. TruCluster Server cluster members share asingle root file system and common system configuration files.

Member-private storage and clusterwide shared storage are equally accessible to all cluster members.

F o r  instance, an application can use standard UNIX file locks to synchronize access to shared files.

For higher performance, appl ications can use directI / O t h r o u g h t h e f i l e s y s t e m t o b y p a s s t h e b u f f e r c a c h e .

Device Request Dispatcher The device request dispatcher supports cl usterwide access to character and bl ock disk devices, and totape and tape changer devices.

When configured, the same MAC address is used in all Address ResolutionProtocol (ARP) responses for the cluster alias address, independent of which cluster node is responding tocl uster al ias ARP requests. This permits faster fail over when a new node assumes responsibil ity for responding to cluster alias ARP requests.

CAA is used to define which members can run a service, the criteria under whichto relocate a service, and the location of an application-specific action script. Monitored resourcesinclude network adapters, tape devices, media changers, and applications. CAA allows services tomanage and monitor resources by using entry points within their action scripts. Applications do not needto be modified in any way to utilize CAA.
