Using Compaq Redundancy Manager in
a Single-Server Environment
Overview
Compaq Redundancy Manager (Fibre Channel) is software designed to
increase the availability of single-server or clustered systems using a Compaq
StorageWorks RAID Array 4000/4100 storage system. Redundancy Manager
detects failures of the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapter,
Compaq StorageWorks RA4000 Controller, and Fibre Channel cable paths,
and then reroutes the I/O processing. Redundancy Manager is a monitoring
tool; it is not a real-time management tool.
In a nonclustered environment, Redundancy Manager enables full utilization
of the redundant hardware available for use with RA4000/4100 storage
systems. For example, a single server may be configured with multiple host
bus adapters, and it may be connected to dual RA4000/4100s containing
redundant storage array controllers and two Compaq StorageWorks Fibre
Channel Storage Hubs or Compaq StorageWorks FC-AL Switches.
IMPORTANT:
Cable your Compaq ProLiant single-server system according to
Compaq-recommended guidelines. Redundancy Manager may appear to work if the
system is cabled differently, but it will not function in failover mode correctly.
