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  | 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)  | 1 to (number of supported nodes)  | 
High-availability scalable operation  | 1 to (number of nodes)  | 2 to (number of supported nodes)  | |
Single-node cluster operation  | -  | 1  | 1  | 
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.)
