1AIX 4.3.2 required
For a detailed description of system models supported by HACMP/6000 and HACMP/ES, you should refer to the current Announcement Letters for HACMP/6000 and HACMP/ES.
HACMP/ES 4.3 further enhances cluster design flexibility even further by including support for the RISC System/6000 family of machines and the Compact Server C20. Since the introduction of HACMP 4.1 for AIX, you have been able to mix uniprocessor and multiprocessor machines in a single cluster. Even a mixture of “normal” RS/6000 machines and RS/6000 SP nodes is possible.
2.1.2 Cluster Node Considerations
It is important to understand that selecting the system components for a cluster requires careful consideration of factors and information that may not be considered in the selection of equipment for a
