This IBM Redpaper documents an installation and configuration of IBM Tivoli® System Automation on IBM AIX® to provide high availability for a DB2® Universal Database™ (UDB) Balanced Configuration Unit (BCU). It provides the information that is needed to enable high availability quickly for an AIX DB2 environment. It is of special interest to those who intend to provide high availability for a DB2 database BCU that is running on the AIX platform.

In this IBM Redpaper, we describe the implementation and design of an automated and highly available SAP system driven by IBM Tivoli System Automation for Linux. We provide guidance and recommendations for a high availability strategy with respect to SAP environments. Practical considerations regarding design, implementation, testing, and maintenance work with the system are also discussed. This Redpaper lists the resources and components that need to be considered when implementing automation procedures in an SAP environment. We describe the necessary steps to set up System Automation for Linux. Extensive testing is required to verify a proper configuration. This Redpaper also provides a verification procedure and failover scenarios. We include a System Automation for Linux policy that defines one SAP system in a three node cluster. We believe that this Redpaper will be an invaluable reference for system engineers working with the System Automation for Linux product implementing SAP automation in a high availability environment.

Based on IBM Tivoli System Automation for Linux on xSeries and zSeries Guide and Reference, SC33-8210, this IBM Redpaper is intended as a How-To for the following topics: - How to set up applications to be automated by IBM Tivoli System Automation for Linux - How to set up System Automation for Linux to automate a complex environment We describe the IBM.Application resource class, including a description of this resource class, a general introduction of how to define a resource for this resource class, and how to provide control scripts for the application. Based on this, we then discuss the definition of a sample fixed application and a sample floating application. Next, how complex scenarios can be automated with System Automation for Linux is discussed. Throughout, we provide samples of how set up both simple and complex scenarios. We believe that this Redpaper will be an invaluable reference for system engineers working with the IBM Tivoli System Automation for Linux product.
