Question about HACMP for active-active mode
Hi all,
I am new to HACMP. So sorry for the newie question. But I did search the forum and it seems that no one asks this before.
So if a 2-node cluster runs in active-active mode (and the same application), what is the benefit of using HACMP ?
If it runs in active-stanby, it is easy to understand because you need HACMP to do failover; but for active-active mode, no failover (right ?), then why do we need HACMP ?
Besides, I find HACMP documents do not use the term "active-active" or "active-standby" (cold standby or hot standby) often. So does "concurrent resource group" mean "active-active" and "cascading/rotating resource group" mean "active-standby" ? Is there a cold standby ?
And what is the relation between "concurrent resource group" and "concurrent shared disk access"; what's the relation between "Cascading/Rotating resource group" and "non-concurrent shared disk access" ?
Thanks!

MP_AssignLogicalUnitToTPG(3MPAPI) Common Multipath Management Library Functions MP_AssignLogicalUnitToTPG(3MPAPI)
NAME
MP_AssignLogicalUnitToTPG - assign a multipath logical unit to a target port group
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lMPAPI [ library... ]
#include <mpapi.h>
MP_STATUS MP_AssignLogicalUnitToTPG(MP_OID tpgOid, MP_OID luOid);
PARAMETERS
tpgOid An object ID that has type MP_TARGET_PORT_GROUP. The target port group currently in active access state that the administrator
would like the LU assigned to.
luOid An object ID that has type MP_MULTIPATH_LOGICAL_UNIT.
DESCRIPTION
The MP_AssignLogicalUnitToTPG() function assigns a multipath logical unit to a target port group.
Calling this function is valid only if the field supportsLuAssignment in the data structure TARGET_PORT_GROUP_PROPERTIES is true. This
capability is not defined in SCSI standards. In some cases, devices support this capability through non-SCSI interfaces (such as SMI-S or
SNMP). This method is only used when devices support this capability through vendor-specific means.
At any given time, each LU will typically be associated with two target port groups, one in active state and one in standby state. The
result of this API will be that the LU associations change to a different pair of target port groups. The caller should specify the object
ID of the desired target port group in active access state.
RETURN VALUES
MP_STATUS_INVALID_OBJECT_TYPE
The tpgOid or luOid parameter does not specify any valid object type. This is most likely to happen if an uninitialized object ID is
passed to the API.
MP_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
The tpgOid parameter has a type subfield other than MP_OBJECT_TYPE_TARGET_PORT_GROUP or luOid has a type subfield other than
MP_OBJECT_TYPE_MULTIPATH_LU.
MP_STATUS_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND
The tpgOid or luOid owner ID or object sequence number is invalid.
MP_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED
The API is not supported.
MP_STATUS_SUCCESS
The operation is successful.
