<div><p>Use this example to create a more complex cluster that contains
|
||
|
four nodes.</p>
|
||
|
<p>This example configuration provides the following:</p>
|
||
|
<ul><li>Two-way replication and failover</li>
|
||
|
<li>Three-tier environment</li>
|
||
|
<li>Applications and data move independently</li>
|
||
|
<li>Backup is used for normal production of different workload</li>
|
||
|
</ul>

<br /><img src="rzaig504.gif" alt="A four-node cluster featuriing two application CRGs and two data CRGs." /><br /><p>The four-node example shows the additional flexibility that is possible
|
||
|
with an iSeries™ cluster.
|
||
|
There are two application cluster resource groups (A1 and A2) and two data
|
||
|
cluster resource groups (D1 and D2). The data associated with D1 is the critical
|
||
|
data for the application associated with A1. The data associated with D2 is
|
||
|
the critical data for the application associated with A2. Because this is
|
||
|
a three-tier environment, the applications exist on the second tier (Node
|
||
|
L2 and Node R2) and the data is separated into the third tier (Node L3 and
|
||
|
Node R3).</p>

<p>This enables mutual take-over capability at both the application and data
|
||
|
levels. All four nodes are being used for normal production. They are also
|
||
|
being used to back up other systems in the cluster. The two applications and
|
||
|
their associated data should always be available in this cluster. The outage
|
||
|
of any single node will not disrupt availability. In addition, the simultaneous
|
||
|
outage of a node at the application level with a node at the data level will
|
||
|
not disrupt availability.</p>
|
||
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> In either instance, the cluster is running exposed in that some cluster
|
||
|
resources will not be replicated while a node is down. You can resolve this
|
||
|
by having more than one backup for any critical cluster resource.</div>
