ContinentalClusters
ContinentalClusters is a Hewlett-Packard high availability solution that
provides disaster tolerant clustering over long distances.
ContinentalClusters employs semi-automatic failover of Serviceguard
packages from a primary cluster to a recovery cluster following a cluster
event that indicates serious disruption of service on the primary cluster.
The product consists of a set of configuration tools, a monitor that sends
notification of cluster-down events, and a command that moves packages
from one cluster to another. In addition, ContinentalClusters includes
the following components:
• Cluster Object Manager, which provides the ability to query
ServiceGuard cluster status.
• A special package control script template to implement physical data
replication between HP SureStore XP256 or HP512 disk arrays.
• A special package control script template to implement physical data
replication between EMC Symmetrix disk arrays.
