Hyper Messaging Protocol (HMP)
Chapter 236
Enterprise (Database) - Local Failover Supported Configuration
The HMP enterprise configuration is a scalable solution. For high
availability and performance, you can easily scale the HMP enterprise
configuration with multiple connections between the HyperFabric
resources. Any single point of failure in the database tier of the fabric is
eliminated in Figure 2-7.
Figure 2-7 Local Failover Supported Enterprise (Database) Configuration,
Multiple Connections between Nodes
In this configuration, if a HyperFabric resource (adapter, cable, switch or
switch port) fails in a cluster, HMP transparently fails over traffic using
another available resource. For more information, see “Configuring HMP
for Transparent Local Failover Support” on page 96.
