i want to setup a lab in my house for learning, i want to setup and hacmp and a seperate server where i can setup 2 lpars and then cluster those 2 lpars and setup them up for failover
what is the cheapest way to achive this.
my objective is to learn hmc -> managed server via hmc -> setup lpars with hmc-> and then cluster the two lpars.
you need Advanced Power Virtualization support
the System has 2 RU
set up one vio Server / two lpars for hacmp
I have never tried to map a local logical volume from vio server to two lpars, and set up a cluster with concurrent vg on top
but even if it's not possible, you can simply set up an iscsi server on a linux box and use the iscsi lun as shared storage
thank you so much, yes, that is exactly what i am buying
I am getting the following
9110-510 2way 1.5 Ghz with APV AIX 6.1 preloaded for testing purposes 3GB RAM 2 x 73GB 10k HDD
6230 SSA adapter (i have a ssa disk array so i can do the disk stuff)
the question is this, can i setup two lpars on the one 9110-510, fail over to and from the lpars under the same box, or do you think i will need to get two of the 9110-510 boxes, and for an hmc i am buying the following 7310-Cr3 HMC, Version 7
one system is enough, you can set up two lpars and one vio,
but 3gb ram seems a bit less, I mean it will work, but if you plan to also use an application to test application controllers and so on, you might want to buy at least 4gb
thats all you need for hacmp/Power HA
as I wrote, the shared storage can come from a linux nas box over iscsi, you can either configure the lpars directly as iscsi clients, or you can configure the vio server as iscsi clients
and map the luns to the lpars over virtual scsi adapters
Edit: didn't read the part with the Disk Array , so forget the iscsi thing
but you need to force the disk mapping to the lpars, since your mapping the same disk twice on the same vio (mkvdev -f)
Hi Abbas,
I don't think there are any AIX 6.1 SSA drivers, support for SSA ended with AIX 5.3 and even that was sketchy, although the 5.3 drivers were included with 5.3:
We want to integrate powervm by using openstack with hmc.
Now we encounter problem with the console, we can open the terminal within hmc, and I think hmc using tech java applet.
sample applet code like

Hi Everyone,
I'll be setting up a home lab for HACMP to play with it as much as I can and learn through out. I already have read old threads about it. My only concern is that I want to install an application on the nodes and then do a failover test to see if the application moves over. The... (4 Replies)

Does anyone know of a command that can be run on the lpar to show the name of the lpars managing HMC?
We have a large environment and records a little old on which HMC manages which lpars....if i could login to an lpar and just issue a command to show me its managing hmc that would be great. (2 Replies)
Hi All,
i would like to know if it's possible to know all the IP Addresses of all LPAR's interfaces from HMC (without connect into LPAR).
And if i can know also the "Application" hostname of LPAR from HMC.
Thanks in advance.
Bye

Whenever I assign/unassign a CDROM ( RAID CTRL ) to Active LPAR from HMC, I have to reboot the LPAR.
How can I do it without rebooting the LPARS.

LPARS = AIX 6.1
Any info

I was wondering if anyone has used VMWare Workstation? I wanted to practice and learn Unix in a networking environment and have my own home lab. However room and money prevent me from buying several computers to do so. Any input would help thank you. (0 Replies)
