2.3 Determining the Cluster System Operation Mode

PRIMECLUSTER allows you to configure multiple cluster applications. The operation mode is determined depending on how you set up the cluster applications in the cluster system.

The main operation modes are listed below:

Classification

Operation mode

Number of cluster applications

Number of nodes

Standby operation

1:1 standby

1

2

Mutual standby

2 to (number of nodes)

2 to (number of supported nodes)

N:1 standby

2 to (number of nodes - 1)

3 to (number of supported nodes)

Cascade

1 to (number of nodes)

3 to (number of supported nodes)

Priority transfer

2 to (number of nodes - 1)

3 to (number of supported nodes)

Scalable operation

Scalable

1 to (number of nodes)

Note

If an operating node in one side is disconnected abruptly due to a power failure or other power supply problem, failover may not work. Take corrective action as follows:

  • Connect all the nodes to UPS.
