Split/Merge Handling PowerHA Linked Cluster

Policy Setting Split Merge Approach

Manual Manual steps needed for recovery to continue

Tie Breaker Tie break Holder side wins

Majority Rule Greater of N/2 side winsElse, side that includes node with the smallest node id

wins

Priority Operator chooses a numerical value such as “largest serial number”

SplitTwo site clusterCluster 1

XCluster 2

MergeTwo site cluster


Manual (operator controlled failover)

Split/Merge Policies– Administrator prompts– Cluster will wait for Admin inputs– Optional Policy: After N prompts allow auto-

recovery– Custom action scripts can invoked at the

time of split or merge as well

Defaults– Number of prompts (N)=infinite– Interval between notifications: once in 30

seconds and then increasing in frequency– Auto-Recovery after N prompts

PowerHA AIX: Resource Optimized High Availability

• PowerHA provides for LPAR resource management during failovers• Can readjust resources from the free pool• Can enable CPU and memory as needed using CoD temp for memory

– For on/off CoD, you’ll need to write scripts for now• Power Enterprise Pools option-both processors and memory are moveable

– Operator initiated via HMC command line or via custom scripts to automate


PowerHA on AIX with DLPAR cost savings example

• PowerHA and AIX are priced per processor core (license only the cores being used in the cluster) • Taking advantage of the DLPAR technology in the example topology:

– Assume 770 cluster, 7 AIX and 7 PowerHA– PowerHA price: 5,000/core = $35,000…..75,000 – 35,000 = savings: $40,000 – AIX price: 2145/core + 530/core = 2675/core = $40,125 – $21,400…..savings: $18,725 – Total savings….$58,725
