HP TRUCLUSTER SERVER
HP TruCluster Server software is a highly integrated addition to
the HP Tru64 Unix operating system. HP TruCluster Server surpasses
high availability expectations of clusters through sophisticated
clustering capabilities and robust hardware and application fault
tolerance. Multiple computers in the HP TruCluster are managed
as one entity, share resources, storage, Cluster File System (CFS)
and shared Single System Image (SSI). Individual HP TruCluster
members can be booted and shutdown independently without disrupting
the cluster service to clients.
Key capabilities of HP TruCluster include:
- Cluster File System (CFS) with cluster wide file and
device naming
- Single System Image (SSI) and shared root direct thereby
reducing management and administration costs
- Distributed Lock Management (DLM), Advanced File System
(AdvFS) and direct I/O enabling synchronised cluster wide access
to shared resources
- TruCluster aliases subsystem operates as if cluster were
a single IP address
- Single management and security domain
- Cluster Application Availability (CAA) subsystem to make
single-instance applications highly available.
