Figure 88 Campus Cluster with LVM Mirroring - HP StorageWorks Virtual Array only

With this configuration, it is possible to emulate Continuous Access plus Business Copy functionality, with standard cluster failover functionality. This is often required for mission critical applications.

Backup clients and clusters

The backup client should not be used as a failover server for the application client. It is recommended to have application and backup services on separate clusters.

Other configurations

There are many other possible disk array configurations that provide some particular advantage or fulfill a specific user needs. However, each configuration has its specific behavioral pattern that imposes specific requirements on the control functions in order to guarantee backup and recovery. It is important to control and specify which configurations are supported.

Only the configurations shown are supported by HP. For an updated list of supported configurations, see the following URL: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals.
