Sun Cluster Data Service for SWIFTAlliance Access Guide for Solaris OS

Sun Cluster HA for SWIFTAlliance Access Overview

The HA agent is written to work with SWIFTAlliance Access version 4 and version 5. As SWIFTAlliance Access is dependent on DCE, the IBM DCE version v3.2 software for Solaris must also be installed. SWIFTAlliance AccessTMis a trademark of SWIFT.

The Sun Cluster HA for SWIFTAlliance Access data service provides a mechanism for orderly startup and shutdown, fault monitoring and automatic failover of the Sun Cluster service. The following Sun Cluster components are protected by the Sun Cluster HA for SWIFTAlliance Access data service.

Sun Cluster HA for SWIFTAlliance Access  

Note –

The HA agent provides a fault monitor for the DCE component only. This means that if the SWIFTAlliance Access stops, it will not automatically be restarted. This behaviour was explicitly requested by SWIFT. It will allow personnel unfamiliar with the Sun Cluster software to operate the application as if it is not running on a cluster. The HA agent does provide the start, stop, failover and switchover functionality. This means that when a node fails, the other node will automatically start the application.
