HP TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-1 for HP Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B-1 provides highly available and scalable solutions for mission-critical computing environments. TruCluster Server delivers powerful but easy-to-use UNIX clustering capabilities, allowing AlphaServer systems and storage devices to operate as a single virtual system.
Cluster members in a given cluster must all use Memory Channel or must all use LAN. These interconnects cannot be mixed for cluster communication in the same cluster. Using multiple shared buses and redundant Memory Channel or LAN interconnect hardware promotes no-single-point-of-failure (NSPOF) characteristics for mission-critical applications.
Flexible Network Flexible Network Flexible Network Flexible Network Configuration Configuration Configuration Configuration TruCluster Server offers flexible network configuration options. Cluster members do not need to have identical routing configurations.
Performance Management Performance Management Performance Management Performance Management The performance management capability of Tru64 UNIX has been modified from one large performance management tool ( pmgr ) to several smaller and more versatile tools.
Cluster Storage I/O Cluster Storage I/O Cluster Storage I/O Cluster Storage I/O Failover Failover Failover Failover TruCluster Server provides two levels of protection in the event of storage interconnect failure. When configured with redundant storage adapters, the storage interconnect will be highly available.
Support for Memory Support for Memory Support for Memory Support for Memory Channel API Channel API Channel API Channel API TruCluster Server provides a special application programming interface (API) library for high-performance data delivery over Memory Channel by giving access to Memory Channel data transfer and locking functions.
