| Description |
|
HACMP for Linux helps provide availability of applications needed to support your On Demand Business. HACMP for Linux, V5.4 continues to demonstrate IBM's cluster technology leadership, with new products to make high availability even simpler, faster, and more flexible to integrate into IBM or third-party application environments.
HACMP for Linux provides base services for cluster node membership, system management, configuration integrity and control, and failover and recovery for applications. HACMP clusters can contain up to eight nodes. A node is a Linux operating system image, and it may be a System p or System i server.
Easy-to-use status and monitoring facilities are included. Scalability provides these capabilities across entire clusters and allows you to define your own HACMP events and monitor your applications.
HACMP provides ease-of-use features to speed configuration of your cluster for a variety of application environments. After your cluster is configured, the changes are synchronized accurately across all nodes and the cluster can be monitored easily with methods appropriate to your environment.
Highlights of HACMP for Linux, V5.4
-
Fast failure detection
HACMP can provide rapid recognition of hardware failures and enables quicker failover to backup nodes, giving you higher availability and less downtime for your critical applications.
-
"Forced down" handling
HACMP allows you to do maintenance on specific applications without having to take your entire cluster down, and provides a building block for nondisruptive configuration of your HACMP clusters and upgrade of your HACMP software.
-
Web-based GUI
HACMP's GUI enables Web-based cluster management for configuring, monitoring, and managing clusters from the same management console. You can view multiple clusters all from one single, consistent interface.
-
Recovery flexibility
HACMP clusters can be configured to meet complicated application availability and recovery needs. HACMP configurations can include mutual takeover or standby takeover recovery processes.
-
Workload distribution
With an HACMP mutual takeover configuration, applications and their workloads can be assigned to specific servers. Segmenting application processing among servers can help maximize application throughput and investments in hardware and software.

| Product positioning |
|
HACMP is the solution for the estimated 80% of application downtime that is not caused by processor failures.
The prospective customer for HACMP solutions is any enterprise with requirements to keep business-critical applications and systems operational 7 days per week, 24 hours per day. An HACMP solution helps you avoid downtime; enables prompt recovery from any hardware, network, or application failures; and also gives you the means to take down an individual server (node) for planned maintenance and upgrades without having to take down the entire cluster.
High availability is a growing business need across all industries. The following industries are prime opportunities for HACMP solutions:
- Finance/Banking: Nearly 100% require high availability; federal regulations mandate backup sites.
- Retail (including online and catalog sales): Back-end office operations and business intelligence operations.
- Healthcare/Insurance: Data mining, data warehousing, and claimant data.
- Telco/Utilities/Media: Continuous operation of networks and switching equipment.
- Distribution/Process: Round-the-clock operation; just-in-time delivery.
- Manufacturing: Continuous access to operational/plant logistics data.
- Education: Administration data and central data mirroring/backup.
HACMP opportunities exist in these industries for the following applications:
- Database/OLTP
- Enterprise Resource Planning
- Network computing
- Business intelligence
- Any customer application that utilizes any combination of disks and networks
HACMP is an attractive, affordable high availability solution for small and medium-sized enterprises, and for small and medium-sized business units of large enterprises. High availability should be a fundamental buying criterion for business-critical and on demand applications.
In addition to providing high availability, HACMP 5.4.0 can also be configured to provide loosely coupled multiprocessing services. These configurations allow workload to be spread across multiple System p systems, sharing the disk and processor resources of the clustered nodes. This clustered approach, along with the capability of application failover and recovery/restart of the HACMP V5.4 configured machine, offers additional levels of high availability processing for customer-critical environments.
Positioning HACMP and other cluster servers: HACMP for Linux is a new offering for mission-critical availability for up to eight nodes. It is IBM's strategic high availability offering designed and tuned for System p and System i servers running Linux.
Advantages of HACMP relative to competitive products:
- HACMP provides a broad range of configuration options over all platforms, including node interconnect protocols, storage systems, and disk interconnects, allowing increased flexibility of configurations.
- HACMP is a cluster technology proven over a decade of service.
- A rich skills base has been developed in the industry for implementation and support of HACMP on AIX 5L. HACMP for Linux allows customers to take advantage of those skills and deploy a common high availability solution throughout their enterprise.
- HACMP supports System p and System i servers with the most advanced autonomic features in the industry; IBM Systems are designed to reduce downtime and support costs.

HACMP™ V5 product description and key features
-
Recovery flexibility
HACMP clusters can be configured to meet complicated application availability and recovery needs. HACMP configurations can include mutual takeover or standby takeover recovery processes. Mutual takeover configurations allow all servers to be active information processors and to perform as backup servers for failed servers. A standby configuration designates a server to be an idle or passive backup for a failed server in the cluster.
HACMP can be tailored to specify which server in the cluster will take over the application of the failed server and to specify which application has priority on the takeover server. HACMP recovery processes also allow you to specify which server the application should be assigned to, or reassigned to, after recovery, resynchronization, and reintegration of the failed server into the cluster. This provides greater flexibility for maintaining availability.
-
Workload distribution
With an HACMP mutual takeover configuration, applications and their workloads are assigned to specific servers. For example, in a two-node HACMP cluster, one server may be designated to be the application server and the second server may be designated to be a database server. Segmenting the application processing to one server and the database processing to the second server utilizes both servers in a productive manner and maximizes application throughput and investments in hardware and software.
-
Workload balancing
In addition to providing high availability, HACMP 5.4.0 can also be configured to provide loosely coupled multiprocessing services. These configurations allow workload to be spread across multiple System p™ systems, sharing the disk and processor resources of the clustered nodes. This clustered approach, along with the capability of application failover and recovery/restart of the HACMP configured machine, offers additional levels of high availability processing for customer-critical environments.
-
Scalable growth
HACMP software is scalable to address a broad range of business-critical high availability application needs. With HACMP, two to eight servers may be configured for high availability. HACMP offers built-in growth and helps protect investments in cluster hardware, software, services, and training.
-
System management
HACMP provides a rich set of leadership system management tools to reduce cluster configuration and administration time. These tools include:
- Cluster Single Point-of-Control (C-SPOC)
- Web-based system management GUI
- A command-line interface
Administration of single and multiple clusters is enhanced through Cluster Snapshots and Event Summaries. These tools allow system managers and application developers to easily configure, replicate, test, and manage System p high availability clusters.
-
Breadth of hardware support
High availability is provided across the System p server lines, extending from entry-level deskside servers to the largest enterprise-class servers.
HACMP also gives you the ability to "mix and match" processor and disk subsystem technologies to meet processing needs. IBM System servers, symmetric multiprocessors, and LPARs on applicable servers can have membership in the same HACMP cluster.
-
Extensive networking support
Extensive configuration flexibility supports a variety of networks, including:
- Ethernet
- RS232
-
Comprehensive heartbeat capability
TCP/IP, serial, and IP alias heartbeat transmission paths are available. Multiple heartbeat paths let you reliably differentiate network, node, and adapter failures to eliminate potential false takeovers and their impacts.
HACMP and RAS
Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) are implemented on all enterprise-class System p servers:
- Error detection
- Fault tolerance
- Reliable hardware components
- High availability
- Fault-management software
- Concurrent or online diagnostics
HACMP complements these technologies with additional high availability management for your
applications and for continuous operation during planned maintenance.

Hardware requirements
HACMP for Linux, V5.4 works with System p and System i™ servers in a "no-single-point-of-failure" server configuration.
HACMP V5 supports the System p and System i models that are designed for server applications and which meet the minimum requirements for internal memory, internal disk, and I/O slots. The following IBM System models and their corresponding upgrades are supported in HACMP for Linux, V5.4:
- System p5 POWER5™ servers 185, 505, 510, 510Q, 520, 520Q, 550, 550Q, 560Q, 570, 575, 590, and 595
-
System i5 POWER5 systems 520, 550, 570, and 595
Note: On all POWER5 servers except 575 and higher, integrated serial ports are not enabled when the HMC ports are connected to an HMC. Either the HMC ports or the integrated serial ports can be used, but not both. Moreover, the integrated serial ports are supported only for modem and async terminal connections. Any other applications using serial ports, including HACMP, require a separate serial port adapter to be installed in a PCI slot.
- BladeCenters: IBM BladeCenter® JS20 blade servers 8842-42U and 8842-4TU, and JS21 blade servers 8844-31U, -51U, -E3X, and -E5X.
Any supported server can be joined with any other supported server in an HACMP V5 configuration. Models with fewer than three slots can be used in the HACMP V5 server configuration, but due to slot limitations, a single-point-of-failure is unavoidable in shared-disk or shared-network resources.
The minimum configuration of each machine is highly dependent on the user's database package and other applications.
Actual configuration requirements are highly localized according to the required function and performance needs of individual sites. In configuring a cluster, particular attention must be paid to:
- Slot limitations and their effect on creating a single-point-of-failure
- Client access to the cluster
- Other LAN devices (such as routers and bridges) and their effect on the cluster
- Replication of I/O adapters and subsystems
- Replication of power supplies
- Other network software
Whenever a process takes over resources after a failure, consideration must be given to work partitioning. For example, if node A is expected to take over for failed node B and continue to perform its original duties, A must be configured with enough resources to perform the work of both.
HACMP V5.4 device support
HACMP supports client users on a LAN using TCP/IP. HACMP monitors and performs IP address switching for only the following TCP/IP-based communications adapters on cluster nodes:
- Ethernet
- RS232
At this time, the following adapters are supported in the HACMP V5 environment.
Communications adapters
- #1979/1959 IBM 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet Low Profile PCI-X Adapter (Copper)
- #1978 IBM Gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter (Fibre)

Storage and storage adapters
HACMP for Linux, V5.4 does not provide high availability for storage resources in your cluster configuration. However, you can use the following storage options in your cluster:
- IBM TotalStorage® disk subsystems
- NFS filesystems
- GPFS for Linux, V3.1
Software requirements
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.
- RSCT 2.4.5.2 (shipped with the HACMP for Linux V5.4 product image).
- Apache WebServer V1 and V2 (provided with the Linux distribution).
- ksh93. Ensure that the ksh version you have installed is ksh93 compliant. A ksh93-compliant version of ksh can be downloaded from the Web. The fileset name is similar to the following: ksh-20050202-1.ppc.rpm.
Each node within a high availability server complex requires the licensed program HACMP V5 to be installed. It is recommended that all nodes in the HACMP server complex be at the same Linux operating system level, including service packs and maintenance upgrades.
Limitations: HACMP for Linux provides high availability for the applications and resources executing on the nodes in the HACMP cluster. HACMP does not provide availability beyond the realm of the defined cluster configuration. A high availability implementation requires that there be no single-points-of-failures (for example, primary and backup HACMPs in LPAR partitions within a single server frame).
Specific limitations of HACMP
- HACMP supports clusters of up to 64 resource groups and 256 interfaces across up to eight Linux/HACMP images.
-
Only the following networks are supported:
- Ethernet
- RS232
-
The following are not supported:
- Shared storage other than IBM TotalStorage, NFS filesystems, or GPFS for Linux, V3.1 filesystems
- Sites in the cluster
- Concurrent resource groups
- Mixed AIX 5L, Red Hat, and SUSE operating systems in a cluster
Environmental conditions that affect the use of HACMP
- HACMP's time to recover from a failure depends, in part, on the amount of time it takes for Linux to detect the failure. With the default network detections setting, some failures may require more than 60 seconds to be detected.
- Transparency of a failure and the subsequent recovery to external users or clients is dependent on the HACMP configuration, the client system, and application protocol design.
For additional information, refer to the Usage restrictions section in the Terms and conditions section of this announcement, or to the License Information document that is available on the IBM Software License Agreement Web site
Performance considerations: HACMP 5.4.0 cluster performance can be measured and reported in many ways. In a mutual takeover/partitioned workload cluster environment, the user's applications and data are spread across two to eight nodes in a cluster. Data management and application management can be placed under the control of a single node for efficiency, or on each node for performance. In this partitioned environment, minimal interaction between nodes in a cluster derives high efficiency in each node. When a failover occurs and the backup node takes over for a failed node, performance is degraded for that period of time when the node is down.
Planning information
Customer responsibilities: Customers who purchase two or more HACMP licenses may replicate the contents of the following filesets throughout their enterprise:
- hacmp.doc.html-5.4.0.0.ppc.rpm

| Ordering information |
|
Charge metric: HACMP for Linux V5 is a server product that has one charge unit: Number of processors. The number of processors for each product is the sum of the number of processors on which that product will be installed or run. A license is required for each machine on which HACMP for Linux will be installed and run.
Software Maintenance for HACMP for Linux V5 and its optional features (5660-HMM, 5661-HMM, 5662-HMM, 5663-HMM, or 5664-HMM), should be ordered individually in a quantity equal to the sum of the number of processors on which HACMP for Linux V5 will be installed and run.
Note: Ordering and billing is per physical processor, regardless of processor sharing ("sub-CPU LPARs"). A processor shared among multiple partitions counts as one processor.
Sub-capacity processor
A processor (commonly called a "CPU" or "core") is a functional unit within a computing device that interprets and executes instructions. A processor consists of at least an instruction control unit and one or more arithmetic or logic unit. With multi-core technology, each core is considered a processor. With sub-capacity licensing, a PoE must be acquired for all activated processors in partitions (utilizing eligible partitioning technologies) on the server available to the program or a component of the program.
New users of HACMP for Linux, V5.4 should specify type 5765, model G71, the one-time charge feature number in the appropriate server-size column with a quantity equal to the total number of processors active in that server running the supported operating system in which HACMP will be installed. If a processor is active and HACMP will not be running on that processor, an order for HACMP is not required. For CD-ROM media, specify type 5692, model LOP, and the feature number from the second table.
Note: Throughout the following tables:
- Small means small capacity servers (processor groups C5, D5, and E5)
- Medium means medium capacity servers (processor groups F5 and G5)
- Large means large capacity servers (processor groups H5 and P5)
- OTC means one-time charge

Variable charges:
The applicable processor-based one-time charge will be based on the group of the designated
machine on which the program is licensed for use. If the program is designated to a processor in a
group for which no charge is listed, the charge of the next higher group listed applies. For
movement to a machine in a higher group, an upgrade charge equal to the difference in the
then-current charges between the two groups will apply. For movement to a machine in a lower group,
there will be no adjustment or refund of charges paid.
