Chapter 8. Establishing an HACMP infrastructure on AIX 421
8.3 HACMP concepts
The basic concepts of HACMP can be classified as follows:
Cluster topology:
Contains basic cluster components nodes, networks, communication
interfaces, communication devices, and communication adapters.
Cluster resources:
Entities that are being made highly available (for example, file systems, raw
devices, service IP labels, and applications). Resources are grouped together
in resource groups (RGs), which HACMP keeps highly available as a single
entity. Resource groups can be available from a single node or, in the case of
concurrent applications, available simultaneously from multiple nodes.
Fallover:
Represents the movement of a resource group from one activ ...
