10.5 Heterogeneous system configuration for HiRDB/Parallel Server

Normally, all HiRDB/Parallel Server units must be on the same platform; however, you can configure a heterogeneous system for HiRDB/Parallel Server in which different platforms coexist, as long as the following conditions are met:

Figure 10-13 shows an example of a heterogeneous system configuration.

Explanation:
  • This HiRDB/Parallel Server consists of three server machines. In this example, server machines A and B serve as application servers and server machine C serves as a database server.
  • The platform of server machines A and B is Linux (EM64T), and the platform of server machine C is Linux (IPF).
Note:
If a heterogeneous system configuration is used, you must abide by the following rule when you move a back-end server or a unit containing a back-end server.
  • When moving a back-end server or a unit containing a back-end server, the platform of the server machine before and after moving must be the same.
    You should not move the server to a different platform.
