5.5.6 Examples of hardware configurations (BladeSymphony (LPAR mode))

(1) 1-to-1 switchover configuration

The following figure shows an example of a hardware configuration that uses one chassis and a 1-to-1 switchover configuration for two LPARs in the same chassis. In this example, hot standby processing occurs between LPAR2 and LPAR3.

The following figure shows an example of a hardware configuration that uses two chassis and a 1-to-1 switchover configuration. In this example, hot standby processing occurs between LPAR1 and LPAR3.

(2) 2-to-1 switchover configuration

The figure below shows an example of a hardware configuration that uses a 2-to-1 switchover configuration. In this example, hot standby processing occurs among LPAR2, LPAR3, and LPAR6.

(3) Multi-standby configuration

A hardware configuration using a multi-standby configuration is the same as a hardware configuration using a 2-to-1 switchover configuration. For an example of a hardware configuration using a 2-to-1 switchover configuration, see (2) 2-to-1 switchover configuration.

(4) Cluster hot-standby configuration

The figure below shows an example of a hardware configuration that uses a cluster hot-standby configuration. In this example, hot standby processing occurs among LPAR2, LPAR3, LPAR6, and LPAR7.
