MC ServiceGuard is still at the forefront of HP-UX's high availability software, it has been developed to the point where (providing hardware behaves itself) it can provide 99.999% availability when spreading a service across two service guarded machines.

It's quite a sophisticated product, providing a double heartbeat between nodes to monitor machine availability in a cluster and has a whole host of cluster wide and node specific configurable parameters - HP's course covers 5 days. It works from the entry level A class server through to the top end Superdome, as well as on workstations (although the reasoning behind it's application there would be somewhat baffling).

The product does not pretend to create fault tolerant machines, I think fault tolerance in the strict sense of the word is something yet to be attained on servers, and the domain of the mainframe - but it does guarantee high availibilty and with most service level agreements providing for scheduled maintenence downtime a high availability cluster that is service guarded can provide a near fault tolerant environment by allowing services to be flipped from node to node as the sectrions of the cluster is worked on for maintenance.

It's a great product, I would recommend learning it. I am on the course next week Smilie

condor_suspend(1)					      General Commands Manual						 condor_suspend(1)

Name
       condor_suspend suspend - jobs from the Condor queue

       condor_suspend[-debug]  [-pool  centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]-name  scheddname][-addr  "<a.b.c.d:port>"] cluster cluster.process user
       -constraint expression-all

Description
       condor_suspendsuspends one or more jobs from the Condor job queue. If the -nameoption is specified, the named condor_scheddis targeted  for
       processing.  Otherwise,	the  local  condor_scheddis  targeted. The job(s) to be suspended are identified by one of the job identifiers, as
       described below. For any given job, only the owner of the job or one of the queue super users (defined by the  QUEUE_SUPER_USERS macro) can
       suspend the job.

Options
       -help

	  Display usage information

       -version

	  Display version information

       -pool centralmanagerhostname[:portnumber]

	  Specify a pool by giving the central manager's host name and an optional port number

       -name scheddname

	  Send the command to a machine identified by scheddname

       -addr <a.b.c.d:port>

	  Send the command to a machine located at "<a.b.c.d:port>"

       -debug

	  Causes debugging information to be sent to  stderr , based on the value of the configuration variable  TOOL_DEBUG

       cluster

	  Suspend all jobs in the specified cluster

       cluster.process

	  Suspend the specific job in the cluster

       user

	  Suspend jobs belonging to specified user

       -constraint expression

	  Suspend all jobs which match the job ClassAd expression constraint

       -all

	  Suspend all the jobs in the queue

Exit Status
       condor_suspendwill exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.

Examples
       To suspend all jobs except for a specific user:

       % condor_suspend  -constraint 'Owner =!= "foo"'
