Overview  
HP TruCluster Server V5.1B-1  
HP TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-1 for HP Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B-1 provides highly available and scalable solutions for mission-critical computing  
environments. TruCluster Server delivers powerful but easy-to-use UNIX clustering capabilities, allowing AlphaServer systems and storage devices to operate  
as a single virtual system.  
By combining the advantages of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), distributed computing, and fault resilience, a cluster running TruCluster Server offers high  
availability while providing scalability beyond the limits of a single system. On a single-system server, a hardware or software failure can severely disrupt a  
client's access to critical services. In a TruCluster Server cluster, a hardware or software failure on one member system results in the other members providing  
these services to clients.  
TruCluster Server reduces the effort and complexity of cluster administration by extending single-system management capabilities to clusters. It provides a  
clusterwide namespace for files and directories, including a single root file system that all cluster members share. A common cluster address (cluster alias) for  
the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) makes the cluster appear as a single system to its network clients while load balancing client connections across member  
systems.  
A single system image allows a cluster to be managed more easily than distributed systems. TruCluster Server cluster members share a single root file system  
and common system configuration files. Therefore, most management tasks need to be done only once for the entire cluster rather than repeatedly for each  
cluster member. The cluster can be managed either locally from any of its members or remotely using Tru64 UNIX Web-based management tools. Tru64  
UNIX and TruCluster Server software, and applications, are installed only once. Most network applications, such as the Apache Web server, need to be  
configured only once in the cluster and can be managed more easily in a cluster than on distributed systems.  
A choice of graphical, Web-based, or command-line user interfaces makes management tasks easier for the administrator, flexible for those with large  
configurations, and streamlined for expert users.  
TruCluster Server facilitates deployment of services that remain highly available even though they have no embedded knowledge they are running in a  
cluster. Applications can access their disk data from any cluster member. TruCluster Server also provides the support for components of distributed  
applications to run in parallel, providing high availability while taking advantage of cluster-specific synchronization mechanisms and performance  
optimizations.  
TruCluster Server allows the processing components of an application to concurrently access raw devices or files, regardless of where the storage is located in  
the cluster. Member-private storage and clusterwide shared storage are equally accessible to all cluster members. Using either standard UNIX file locks or the  
distributed lock manager (DLM), an application can synchronize clusterwide access to shared resources, maintaining data integrity.  
TruCluster Server is an efficient and reliable platform for providing services to networked clients. To a client, the cluster appears to be a powerful single-server  
system; a client is impacted minimally, if at all, by hardware and software failures in the cluster.  
TruCluster Server simplifies the mechanisms of making applications highly available. A cluster application availability (CAA) facility records the  
dependencies of, and transparently monitors the state of, registered applications. If a hardware or software failure prevents a system from running a service,  
the failover mechanism automatically relocates the service to a viable system in the cluster, which maintains the availability of applications and data.  
Administrators can manually relocate applications for load balancing or hardware maintenance.  
TCP-based and UDP-based applications can also take advantage of the cluster alias subsystem. These applications, depending on their specific  
characteristics, can run on a single cluster member or simultaneously on multiple members. The cluster alias subsystem routes client requests to any member  
participating in that cluster alias. During normal operations, client connections are dynamically distributed among multiple service instances according to  
administrator-provided metrics.  
TruCluster Server supports a variety of hardware configurations that are cost-effective and meet performance needs and availability requirements. Hardware  
configurations can include different types of systems and storage units, and can be set up to allow easy maintenance. In addition, administrators can set up  
hardware configurations that allow the addition of a system or storage unit without shutting down the cluster.  
For the fastest communication with the lowest latency, use the PCI-based Memory Channel cluster interconnect for communication between cluster members.  
TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-1 also supports the use of 100 Mbps Ethernet or 1000 Mbps Ethernet hardware as a private LAN cluster interconnect. The LAN  
interconnect is suitable for clusters with low-demand workloads generated by a cluster running failover style, with highly available applications in which  
there is limited application data being shared between the nodes over the cluster interconnect. Refer to the Cluster Technical Overview manual for a  
discussion of the merits of each cluster interconnect.

Flexible N etwork  
C onfiguration  
TruCluster Server offers flexible network configuration options. Cluster members do not need to have identical routing  
configurations. An administrator can enable IP forwarding and configure a cluster member as a full-fledged router.  
Administrators can use routing daemons such as gated or routed, or they can configure a cluster member to use only static  
routing. When static routing is used, administrators can configure load balancing between multiple network interface cards  
(NICs) on the same member. Whether gated, routed, or static routing are used, in the event of a NIC failure, the cluster  
alias reroutes network traffic to another member of the cluster. Ss long as the cluster interconnect is working, cluster alias  
traffic can get in or out of the cluster.  
C luster Application  
A va ila b ility F a cility  
The cluster application availability (CAA) facility delivers the ability to deploy highly available single instance applications  
in a cluster by providing resource monitoring and application relocation, failover, and restart capabilities. CAA is used to  
define which members can run a service, the criteria under which to relocate a service, and the location of an application-  
specific action script. Monitored resources include network adapters, tape devices, media changers, and applications. CAA  
allows services to manage and monitor resources by using entry points within their action scripts. Applications do not need  
to be modified in any way to utilize CAA.  
Administrators can request that CAA reevaluate the placement within the cluster of registered applications either at a  
regularly scheduled time, or any time at which they desire to manually balance applications by using the caa_balance  
command. Balancing decisions are based on the standard CAA placement mechanisms. Similarly, administrators can  
request that CAA schedule an automatic failback of a resource for a specific time. This allows an administrator to benefit  
from CAA automatically moving a resource to the most-favored cluster member without the worry of the relocation  
occurring at a critical time. The caa_report utility can provide a report of availability statistics for application resources.  
Administrators can redirect the output of CAA resource action scripts it is visible during execution. Lastly, user-defined  
attributes can be added to a resource profile and they will be available to the action script upon its execution.  
Rolling U pgrade  
TruCluster Server allows rolling upgrade from the previous version of the base operating system and the TruCluster software  
to the next subsequent release of the base operating system and TruCluster software. It also allows the rolling of patches into  
the cluster. Updating the operating system and cluster software does not require a shutdown of the entire cluster. A utility is  
provided to roll the cluster in a controlled and orderly fashion. The upgrade procedure allows the monitoring of the status of  
the upgrade while it is in progress. Clients accessing services are not aware that a rolling upgrade is in progress.  
To speed the process of upgrading the cluster, the administrator can use the parallel rolling upgrade procedure that  
upgrades more than one cluster member at a time in qualifying configurations.  
Administrators looking for a quicker alternative to a rolling upgrade when installing patches have the option of a patch  
procedure that favors upgrade speed over cluster high availability. After the first member receives the patch, all remaining  
members of the cluster receive the patch at the same time followed by rebooting the entire cluster as a single operation.  
See the Cluster Installation manual for recommended and supported paths to upgrade or roll to the latest version of  
TruCluster Server.  
Cluster M anagem ent  
The SysMan system management utilities provide a graphical view of the cluster configuration, and can be used to  
determine the current state of availability and connectivity in the cluster. The administrator can invoke management tools  
from SysMan, allowing the cluster to be managed locally or remotely.  
Clusterwide signaling allows applications to send UNIX signals to processes operating on other members.

Performance M anagement The performance management capability of Tru64 UNIX has been modified from one large performance management tool  
(pmgr) to several smaller and more versatile tools. The performance management tool suite consists of collect, collgui, and  
two Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agents (pmgrd and clu_mibs).  
The collect tool gathers operating system and process data under Tru64 UNIX Versions 4.x and 5.x. Any subset of the  
'subsystems' (Process, Memory, Disk, LSM Volumes, Network, CPU, Filesystems) and Header can be defined for which data is  
to be collected. Collect is designed for high reliability and low system-resource overhead. Accompanying collect are two  
highly integrated tools: collgui (a graphical front-end) and cfilt, (which allows completely arbitrary extraction of data from  
the output of collect to standard output). Collgui is a laborsaving tool that allows a user to quickly analyze collect data.  
The Performance Manager metrics server (pmgrd) is a UNIX daemon process that provides general UNIX performance  
metrics on request. The pmgrd metrics server supports the extensible SNMP agent mechanism (eSNMP).  
Cluster M IB  
TruCluster Server supports the HP Common Cluster MIB. HP Insight Manager uses this Cluster MIB to discover cluster  
member relationships, and to provide a coherent view of clustered systems across supported platforms.  
H ighly Available N FS  
Server  
When configured as an NFS server, a TruCluster Server cluster can provide highly available access to the file systems it  
exports. No special cluster management operations are required to configure the cluster as a highly available NFS server. In  
the event of a system failure, another cluster member will become the NFS server for the file system, transparent to external  
NFS clients. NFS file locking is supported, as are both NFS V2 and V3 with UDP and TCP.  
TruCluster Server allows NFS file systems to be served from the cluster through both the default cluster alias and alternate  
aliases. Alternate cluster aliases can be defined to limit NFS server activity to those members that are actually connected to  
the storage that contains the exported file systems. NFS clients can use this alternate alias when they mount the file systems  
served by the cluster.  
Fast File System Recovery The Advanced File System (AdvFS) log-based file system provides higher availability and greater flexibility than traditional  
UNIX file systems. AdvFS journaling protects file system integrity. TruCluster Server supports AdvFS for both read and write  
access.  
An optional, separately licensed product, the Advanced File System Utilities, performs online file system management  
functions. See the OPTIONAL SOFTWARE section of this document for more information on the AdvFS utilities.  
Increased D ata Integrity  
Tru64 UNIX Logical Storage Manager (LSM) is a cluster-integrated, host-based solution to data storage management. In a  
TruCluster Server cluster, LSM operations continue despite the loss of cluster members, as long as the cluster itself continues  
operation and a physical path to the storage is available. LSM disk groups can be used simultaneously by all cluster  
members and the LSM configuration can be managed from any cluster member.  
Basic LSM functionality, including disk spanning and concatenation, is provided with the Tru64 UNIX operating system.  
Extended functions, such as striping (RAID 0), mirroring (RAID 1), and online management, are available with a separate  
license. Mirroring of LSM is RAID Advisory Board (RAB) certified for RAID Levels 0 and 1.  
LSM is supported for use in a TruCluster Server cluster and will support any volume in a cluster, including swap and cluster  
root and excluding the quorum disk and member boot disks. Hardware mirroring is supported for all volumes in a cluster  
without exception.  
LSM RAID 5 volumes are not supported in clusters. See the OPTIONAL SOFTWARE section of this document for more  
information on LSM.  
G lobal Error Logger &  
Event M anager  
TruCluster Server can log messages about events that occur in the TruCluster environment to one or more systems. Cluster  
administrators can also receive notification through electronic mail when critical problems occur.

Cluster Storage I/O  
Failover  
TruCluster Server provides two levels of protection in the event of storage interconnect failure. When configured with  
redundant storage adapters, the storage interconnect will be highly available. Should one interconnect fail, traffic will  
transparently fail over to the surviving adapter. When a member system is connected to shared storage with a single storage  
interconnect and it fails, transactions are transparently performed via the cluster interconnect to another cluster member  
with a working storage interconnect.  
C luster C lient N etwork  
Failover  
TruCluster Server supports highly available client network interfaces via the Tru64 UNIX redundant array of independent  
network adapters (NetRAIN) feature.  
C luster Interconnect  
Failover  
TruCluster Server allows the elimination of the cluster interconnect as a single point of failure by supporting redundant  
cluster interconnect hardware. You can configure dual-rail Memory Channel, allowing the cluster to survive the failure of a  
single rail. For LAN interconnect, two or more network adapters on each member are configured as a NetRAIN virtual  
interface. When properly configured across two or more switches, the cluster will survive any LAN component failure. This  
not only guards against rare network hardware failures, but also facilitates the upgrade and maintenance of the network  
without disrupting the cluster.  
Support for Parallelized  
D atabase Applications  
TruCluster Server provides the software infrastructure to support parallelized database applications, such as Oracle 9i Real  
Application Clusters (RAC) and Informix Extended Parallel Server (XPS) to achieve high performance and high availability.  
9i RAC and XPS are offered and supported separately by Oracle Corporation and Informix Software, Inc., respectively.  
Distributed Lock M anager The distributed lock manager (DLM) synchronizes access to resources that are shared among cooperating processes  
throughout the cluster. DLM provides a software library with an expansive set of lock modes that applications use to  
implement complex resource-sharing policies. DLM provides services to notify a process owning a resource that it is  
blocking another process requesting the resource. An application can also use DLM routines to efficiently coordinate the  
application's activities within the cluster.

Support for Memory  
C hannel API  
TruCluster Server provides a special application programming interface (API) library for high-performance data delivery over  
Memory Channel by giving access to Memory Channel data transfer and locking functions. This Memory Channel API  
library enables highly optimized applications that require high-performance data delivery over the Memory Channel  
interconnect. This library is supported solely for use with Memory Channel.  
High performance within the cluster is achieved by providing user applications with direct access to the capabilities of the  
Memory Channel. For example, a single store instruction on the sending host is sufficient for the data to become available  
for reading in the memory of another host.  
The Memory Channel API library allows a programmer to create and control access to regions of the clusterwide address  
space by specifying UNIX style protections. Access to shared data can be synchronized using Memory Channel spin locks for  
clusterwide locking.  
The Memory Channel API library facilitates highly optimized implementations of Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM), Message  
Passing Interface (MPI), and High Performance Fortran (HPF), providing seamless scalability from SMP systems to clusters of  
SMP machines. This provides the programmer with comprehensive access to the current and emerging de facto standard  
software development tools for parallel applications while supporting portability of existing applications without source  
code changes.  
NOTE: To users of the Memory Channel API V1.6 product on Tru64 UNIX Version 4.0*:  
On Tru64 UNIX V5.*, the TruCluster Memory Channel Software V1.6 product is bundled as a feature of TruCluster Server  
V5.*. To run the Memory Channel API library on Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B-1, you must install a TruCluster Server license to  
configure a valid TruCluster Server cluster.  
NOTE: To users of the Memory Channel application programming interface with Memory Channel virtual hub (vhub)  
configuration:  
The Memory Channel API is not supported for data transfers larger than 8K bytes when loopback mode is enabled in two  
member clusters configured with MC virtual hub. For more information on loopback mode go to  
http://www.tru64unix.hp.com/docs/updates/TCR51A/TITLE.HTM and refer to the 21.Mar.2002 issue titled "MC API  
Applications May Not Use Transfers Larger Than 8 KB with Loopback Mode Enabled on Clusters Utilizing Virtual Hubs."  
Connection M anager  
The connection manager is a distributed kernel component that ensures that cluster members communicate with each other  
and enforces the rules of cluster membership. The connection manager forms a cluster, and adds and removes cluster  
members. It tracks whether members in a cluster are active and maintains a cluster membership list that is consistent on all  
cluster members.  
Support for Fibre C hannel TruCluster Server supports the use of switched Fibre Channel storage and Fibre Channel arbitrated loop. Compared to  
Solutions  
parallel SCSI storage, Fibre Channel provides superior performance, greater scalability, higher reliability and availability,  
and better serviceability. Compared to parallel SCSI storage, Fibre Channel is easier to configure and its long distance  
permits greater flexibility in configurations. Fibre Channel can be used for clusterwide shared storage, cluster file systems,  
swap partitions, and boot disks.  
Compared with a switched Fibre Channel topology, arbitrated loop offers a lower cost solution by trading off bandwidth,  
and therefore some performance. Arbitrated loop is supported for two-member configurations only.  
For more information on supported TruCluster Server configurations and specific cabling restrictions using Fibre Channel,  
see the Cluster Hardware Configuration manual at the following URL:  
Enhanced Security with  
D istributed  
A uthentication  
TruCluster Server supports the Enhanced Security option on all cluster members. This includes support for features for  
enhanced login checks and password management. Audit and access control list (ACL) support can also be enabled  
independently of the Enhanced Security option on cluster members.

NOTES:  
HP TruCluster Server V5.1B-1  
Hard partitions of GS80, GS160, and GS320 AlphaServers can be clustered together either across separate systems or within systems, but each hard  
partition must have at least one cluster interconnect connection.  
TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-1 requires all members to be connected with either all members using Memory Channel hardware or all members  
using a private 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps full-duplex LAN. Note that there are two variants of Memory Channel (MC).  
ES45 models 1, 1B, 2, and 2B support single rail Memory Channel (MC) configured for either 512 MB or 128 MB. Dual rail MC is supported with  
both Memory Channel adapters placed on the same PCI bus and jumpered to run at 128 MB.  
ES45 models 3 and 3B can support dual rail Memory Channel (MC) with both rails configured either for 512 MB or 128 MB. Memory Channel  
adapters must be placed on separate PCI busses when jumpered to run at 512 MB.  
The use of the MC API is not supported in a two-member cluster containing an AlphaServer ES45 and configured with Memory Channel in virtual  
hub mode. To use the MC API in a two-member cluster containing an AlphaServer ES45, a Memory Channel hub must be configured for each rail.  
For further information on deploying an ES45 in a TruCluster, refer to the Cluster Hardware Configuration manual at  
1. KZPEA-DB is supported for configuring a shared bus in a TruCluster with a maximum of two members per shared bus. Patch Kit 1 is required. Please  
check the specific platform Supported Options Lists to see if a particular platform is supported.  
2. The embedded Gigabit Ethernet adapter (10/100/1000Mbps) on the DS25 is supported by TruCluster Server as a LAN cluster interconnect if patch kit 2 is  
installed.  
3. 3X-DEGXA-SA/TA Gigabit Ethernet adapter is supported by TruCluster Server as a LAN cluster interconnect if patch kit 2 is installed. Please check the  
specific platform Supported Options Lists to see if a particular platform is supported. http://h18002.www1.hp.com/alphaserver/products/options.html  
4. TS20 is supported for two member LAN interconnected cluster only.  
5. KZPBA-CC is supported on the ES47s, ES80, & ES1280 for shared bus only with HSZ80 storage.  
TruCluster Server Version 5.1 requires all members to be connected using Memory Channel hardware. Note that there are two variants of Memory Channel  
(MC):

configuration notes:  
At least one Memory Channel adapter must be installed in a PCI slot in each member system. One or more link  
cables are required to connect systems to each other or to a hub. A cluster environment with two nodes does not  
require a hub. A configuration of more than two members requires a Memory Channel hub.  
MC1and MC1.5 cannot be mixed on the same rail with MC2.  
There are special rules about circumstances where Memory Channel 1 and Memory Channel 2 can be used together in the  
same cluster. The TruCluster Server Hardware Configuration manual provides information regarding supported Memory  
Channel configurations.

Supported LAN  
Interconnect Hardware  
Use of dedicated LAN is supported for use as a cluster interconnect. A LAN interconnect must be private to cluster members.  
As long as any packet that is transmitted by a cluster member's interconnect adapter can only be received by interconnect  
adapters of other members of the same cluster, the interconnect meets the privacy requirement.  
A LAN interconnect can be a direct connection between two cluster members or can employ hubs or switches. In general,  
any Ethernet adapter, switch, or hub that works in a standard LAN at 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps should work within a LAN  
interconnect. (Adapters on combo cards such as the KZPCM, DEPVD, and the DEPVZ are not supported.) Check the  
supported options list (at http://h18002.www1.hp.com/alphaserver/products/options.html) for the hardware platform in  
question to verify if the DEGXA-SA/TA is supported for LAN interconnect. Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), ATM LAN  
Emulation (LANE), and 10 Mbps Ethernet are not supported.  
Although hubs and switches are interchangeable in most LAN interconnect configurations, switches are recommended for  
performance and scalability. Most hubs run in half-duplex mode and do not detect network collisions, so their use in a LAN  
interconnect may limit cluster performance. Overall, using a switch, rather than a hub, provides greater scalability for  
clusters with three or more members.  
Adapters and switch ports must be configured compatibly with respect to speed (100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps) and operational  
mode (full-duplex). A maximum of three hops is allowed between cluster members, where a hop means passing from a  
system, switch, hub, or router, to another system, switch, hub, or router. That is, any combination of up to two hubs,  
switches, or routers is supported between two cluster members. You must not introduce unacceptable latencies by using, for  
example, a satellite uplink or a wide area network (WAN) in the path between two components of a LAN interconnect.  
A fully redundant LAN interconnect configuration employs two or more Ethernet adapters in a NetRAIN set on each  
member, with redundant wiring to two or more switches interlinked by two crossover cables. These Ethernet switches must be  
capable of one of the follow mechanisms for managing traffic across parallel inter-switch links: link aggregation (also  
known as port trunking), resilient links, or per-port-enabled spanning tree algorithm.

Supported Tape Devices  
and M edia Changers  
TruCluster Server supports the configuration of specific tape devices on a shared SCSI bus and on Fibre Channel. These  
devices will function properly in a multi-initiator environment. On a SCSI bus, they will be disrupted by bus resets that occur  
during cluster membership change events. Backup software must be explicitly capable of handling and recovering from  
such events and must utilize the cluster application availability (CAA) facility to facilitate highly available backup.
