2.4 Resource Planning

HACMP provides a highly available environment by identifying a set of cluster-wide resources essential to uninterrupted processing, and then defining relationships among nodes that ensure these resources are available to client processes.

When a cluster node fails or detaches from the cluster for a scheduled outage, the Cluster Manager redistributes its resources among any number of the surviving nodes.

HACMP considers the following as resource types:

Volume Groups

Disks

File Systems

File Systems to be NFS mounted

File Systems to be NFS exported

Service IP addresses

Applications

The following paragraphs will tell you what to consider when configuring resources to accomplish the following:

IP Address Takeover

Shared LVM Components

NFS Exports

and the options you have when combining these resources to a resource group.

2.4.1 Resource Group Options

Each resource in a cluster is defined as part of a resource group. This allows you to combine related resources that need to be together to provide a particular service. A resource group also includes the list of nodes that can acquire those resources and serve them to clients.

A resource group is defined as one of three types:
