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.

Classification

Operation mode

Number of cluster applications

Number of nodes

Standby operation

Mutual standby

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.

  • When configuring the cluster system using the extended partitions in PRIMEQUEST 3000 series (except B model), the number of supportable nodes is up to 4 nodes per cluster system. (However, there is no change in the configuration where the number of supportable node is less then 4 nodes.)
