<div class="section"><p>IBM<sup>®</sup> and IBM cluster
middleware IBM Business Partners have teamed together to provide state-of-the-art
cluster resource services functions along with a graphical user interface
(GUI) for cluster management. <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> 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 ensures that all nodes have consistent information about the state
of cluster resources. In addition, cluster resource services provides a set
of control language (CL) commands and application program interfaces (APIs)
and facilities that can be used by iSeries™ application providers or customers
to enhance their application availability. Cluster resource services functions
can also be accessed via graphical user interface solutions provided by iSeries Navigator
cluster management and cluster middleware IBM Business Partner products.</p>
