<div><p>Availability options are a complement to a good save strategy,
not a replacement.</p>
<p>Availability options can significantly reduce the time it takes you to
recover after a failure. In some cases, availability options can prevent
you from having to perform a recovery.</p>
<div class="p">To justify the cost of using availability options, you need to understand
the following items: <ul><li>The value your system provides.</li>
<li>The cost of a scheduled or unscheduled outage.</li>
<li>What your availability requirements are.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="p">The following list shows the availability options that you can use to complement
your save strategy: <ul><li>Journal management lets you recover the changes to objects that have occurred
since your last complete save.</li>
<li>Access path protection lets you re-create the order in which records in
a database file are processed.</li>
<li>Disk pools limit the amount of data you need to recover to the data in
the disk pool with the failed unit.</li>
<li>Device parity protection enables you to reconstruct data that is lost;
the system can continue to run while the data is being reconstructed.</li>
<li>Mirrored protection helps you keep your data available because you have
two copies of the data on two separate disk units.</li>
<li>Clustering lets you maintain some or all data on two systems; the secondary
system can take over critical application programs if the primary system fails.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>The Availability roadmap for your iSeries™ topic contains information that
you can use to implement an availability solution on your iSeries server.</p>
