Chapter 7 Administration on a Cluster System

7.1 The Correspondence Outline in a Cluster System

The Multipath function supports the following connection types in the cluster system.
The resource of the Multipath function is set as each interface.
A cluster node is changed, not only when an online node panics, but when the abnormalities in transmission paths are detected by the communication path of the MPNET interface and it becomes impossible to use all communication paths.
Moreover, mode of operation, a MAC address, etc. can be taken over by configuring the environmental configuration of an online node and a standby node identically.
"Figure 7.1 Example of Switching Node in All Communication Paths Failure" shows how to switch the node when all the communication paths in the interface used by the online node are out of application.
The "userApplication" on PRIMECLUSTER is equivalent to "cluster service" on SynfinityCluster. For details, please refer to the glossary of the SynfinityCluster and PRIMECLUSTER manuals.
