Inactive switchover - The switching time is measured from the point at which the CHGCRGPRI
command is issued from the primary system which has no work until the IASP is available on the
new primary system.
·
Partition - An active partition is created by starting the database workload on the IASP. Once the
workload is stabilized an option 22(force MSD) is issued on the panel. Switching time is
measured from the time the MSD is forced on the primary side until new primary node varies on
the IASP.
Workload Configuration
The wide variety of hardware configurations and software environments available make it
difficult to characterize a ‘typical’ high availability environment. The following section
provides a simple description of the high availability test environment used in our lab.
