Using SNAplus2 in a High Availability Environment

Using SNAplus2 with MC/ServiceGuard

Using the LAN to Access Standalone Servers

When SNAplus2 is used in a standalone configuration, the LAN can still be used to access the server system. Although you do not run applications on SNAplus2 client systems, you access the applications running on the server from another computer system via the LAN. For example, you might use telnet or rlogin to log in from a desktop workstation to an SNAplus2 server to run the SNAplus2 application. Like the TN Server example above, these TCP/IP connections will be maintained during a local LAN failover or during a remote failover if you access the server using the floating IP address associated with the SNAplus2 package.
