Middleware Configuration; Host Failover; Multipath Failover - HP XP1024 System Configuration Manual

2 Middleware configuration
The disk array supports many industry-standard middleware products which provide host
failover and logical volume management. Available host failover products for the Novell
NetWare server operating system include the Novell High Availability Server (NHAS),
SFT III software products, Novell Clustering Services, and Novell Multipath Support.
Logical volume management functions are included in the Novell NetWare server
operating system (for example, Installation Option NetWare Loadable Module,
NWAdmin).

Host failover

The NHAS and SFT III software products provide hardware fault tolerance (that is, host
failover capability) for the Novell NetWare environment.
Novell Clustering Service provides fault tolerance by moving (failing over) server
resources from one server to another.
If you plan to use these products with the disk array, contact your HP service
representative for the latest information about support and configuration requirements.
For assistance with NHAS or SFT III operations, see the Novell user documentation, or
contact Novell customer support.

Multipath failover

The XP disk arrays support NetWare multipath failover. If multiple HBAs are connected
to the disk array with commonly-shared LUNs, you can configure path failover to
recognize each new device path:
1.
In the startup.cfg file, enter
SET MULTI-PATH SUPPORT=ON
LOAD SCSIHD.CDM AEN
2.
If the line LOAD CPQSHD.CDM is present it should be commented out.
