During a planning session, a customer expresses concern about the behavior of the nodes when HACMP is installed. One department is reliant on an older piece of equipment that is critical to operations and must communicate to the database server. Previous network changes indicated that this piece of equipment does not support gratuitous ARP. How can HACMP best incorporate this restriction into the cluster design?
During a customer planning session, the LVM requirements for HACMP are provided. The administrator explains that there are five volume groups in the current production environment because filesystems constantly change due to the nature of the business. Maintenance outages are limited to one Saturday per month. There is some concern about the amount of time that will be required for outages once HACMP is installed. With HACMP, what will be the simplest method of managing LVM changes while minimizing required downtime?
Due to recent changes in infrastructure, a four-node cluster has been split into two locations, but is still listed as a single site in HACMP. The location split has proceeded smoothly, the only exception being the serial heartbeats. There are constant errors causing the serial network to go up and down. What is the best solution to resolve this issue?
During a cluster functionality test, an administrator performs a graceful stop for Node 'B' in a three-node cluster. What is the expected state of the cluster after Node 'B' successfully completes?
While reviewing the HACMP log file, a warning message appears stating that a custom event script could not be found. A check of the current path settings indicates that all required paths are present. What step can be taken to correct the missing paths issues during cluster event processing?
An enterprise has three nodes: - Node 'A' is a production database, - Node 'B' is a production application server, and - Node 'C' is a test and development node. Node 'C' is used by six programmers to develop and test software releases and new versions of the database, as well as to test new AIX PTFs. The CIO identified the production application as business critical and would like to make it highly available with HACMP. Application development and testing is not business critical. Which of the following describes the best solution?
An enterprise has two nodes: - Node 'A' runs a large relational database and has six CPUs and 32GB of memory. - Node 'B' is an application server with three CPU's and 16GB of memory. During peak production periods, the CPU load for Node 'A' is normally between 30% and 40%. For Node 'B', the CPU load is 10% to 20% during peak production periods. Which of the following describes the best solution for an HACMP cluster?
