Guide to High Availability: Configuring boot/root/swap provides configuration and recovery information for Sun servers. This book provides a cookbook approach for a variety of solutions that ensure system disk availability. Each chapter includes both hardware and software high availability solutions.
The philosophy of this book is that it is possible to achieve 100 percent uptime for the system boot disk. If the system disk is properly configured and its disk is hotswappable,the server does not have to be rebooted when the system disk fails. This book tries to adhere strictly to the definition of high availability that allows a system to keep operating even with a failure.
Although this book does not cover every product and every configuration in detail, it provides enough information so that you can extrapolate the procedures to create the best solution for your particular server or disk.
This book is divided into the following four chapters:
- Chapter 1, Mirroring with the Sun StorEdge A5000 Subsystem and Solstice DiskSuite Software
- Chapter 2, Mirroring with the Sun StorEdge A5000 Subsystem and the Sun Enterprise Volume Manager Software
- Chapter 3, Sun StorEdge MultiPack or UniPack as a Solution
- Chapter 4, Alternative Boot Solutions
