In order to use clustering, you must have the correct software
and licenses.
- OS/400 V4R4M0 or later configured with TCP/IP (TCP/IP
Connectivity Utilities).
- A cluster configuration and management software solution. This
can be any of the following:
- iSeries™ Navigator
cluster management
- A cluster middleware IBM Business Partner solution
- Your own cluster management application program written using cluster
resource services commands and APIs
- See the Cluster configuration checklist
Important: If you plan to use independent disk pools to
take advantage of switchable devices, there are additional requirements. See
Plan for independent
disk pools for details.
