Compaq Redundancy Manager (Fibre Channel)
Compaq Redundancy Manager, a software component that works in
conjunction with the Windows NTS/E operating system and the Windows NT
file system (NTFS), increases the availability of both single-server and
clustered systems that use the Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 and
RAID Array 4100 Storage System and Compaq ProLiant servers. Redundancy
Manager can detect failures in the host bus adapter, array controller or other
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop components. When such a failure occurs, I/O
processing is rerouted through a redundant path, allowing applications to
continue processing. This rerouting is transparent to NTFS. Therefore, in an
HA/F200 configuration, it is not necessary for MSCS to fail resources over to
the other node. Redundancy Manager, in combination with redundant
hardware components, is the basis for the enhanced high availability features
of the HA/F200 running Windows NTS/E.
The Compaq Redundancy Manager (Fibre Channel) CD is included in the
Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F200 kit. Redundancy Manager is licensed on a
single server or single cluster of servers basis. For more information about
installing Redundancy Manager in a Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F200, see
Chapter 3 of this guide. For detailed information about the Redundancy
Manager software, refer to the Redundancy Manager documentation included
in your cluster kit.
