<div><p>Cluster resource services provides the basic cluster infrastructure.
There are several methods that will allow you to take advantage of the clustering
capabilities provided by cluster resource services.</p>
<p><span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> cluster resource
services on the iSeries™ provides
the basic infrastructure that allows you to use a cluster. Cluster resource
services provides a set of integrated services that maintain cluster topology,
perform heartbeating, and allow creation and administration of cluster configuration
and cluster resource groups. Cluster resource services also provides reliable
messaging functions that keep track of each node in the cluster and ensure
that all nodes have consistent information about the state of cluster resources.</p>
<p>While cluster resource services provides the basic cluster infrastructure,
there are several methods that will allow you to take advantage of these clustering
capabilities. Each has distinct benefits and capabilities. </p>
<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> Use only one of these solutions exclusively. Conflicts,
problems and unpredictability can arise when attempting to use more than one
solution to create and manage a cluster. The information you find in the iSeries Information
Center documents procedures specific to iSeries Navigator and the cluster resource
services CL commands and APIs. If you use a cluster middleware IBM Business Partner
solution, see the documentation provided with the product for procedural information
on performing tasks.</div>
