HACMP Standard

[gatetec]

I am developing HACMP Standard in house and am in need of some templates (not the exclusive admin/config documentation from IBM Redbook) I can refer to.

Basically, I like to know:

1) Standard of HW and SW for HACMP
2) configuration and admin procedures

Can you share if you have any templates so that I can use them for the starting point?

thx so much

I would advice you for HACMP that you read the redbooks coz it will give you a better understanding.

But to give you some comments:

1) You have to watch out for your SPOF (single point of failure) when considering HW. Like having two NICs and two FCs per node. You are the judge of your SPOFs after all so the more redundancies you consider the better.

SWs! you need the following list of softwares (taken from one of our production systems)

lslpp -L | grep clu
  cluster.es.client.lib      5.3.0.2    A     F    ES Client Libraries
  cluster.es.client.rte      5.3.0.3    A     F    ES Client Runtime
  cluster.es.client.utils    5.3.0.1    A     F    ES Client Utilities
  cluster.es.client.wsm      5.3.0.2    A     F    Web based Smit

  cluster.license            5.3.0.0    C     F    HACMP Electronic License
  cluster.man.en_US.es.data  5.3.0.1    A     F    ES Man Pages - U.S. English

lslpp -L | grep hacmp
  rsct.basic.hacmp           2.4.4.0    C     F    RSCT Basic Function (HACMP/ES
  rsct.compat.basic.hacmp    2.4.4.0    C     F    RSCT Event Management Basic
  rsct.compat.clients.hacmp  2.4.4.0    C     F    RSCT Event Management Client

2) I would advice you to read the redbook for configuring the HACMP cluster. For administering the cluster try as much as you can to use CSPOC (smitty hacmp -> System Management (C-SPOC).

I hope this is helpful.

Khalid
