The Sun Cluster HA for Alliance Gateway data service provides a mechanism for orderly startup, shutdown, fault monitoring, switchover, and failover of the Sun Cluster data service.
Sun Cluster HA for Alliance Gateway provides software for fault monitoring by checking the status of the Alliance Gateway service. The values “running” and “partial” are considered healthy. Values other than these force a restart or failover to another node or zone in the cluster. By accepting a “partial” status, operators can temporarily disable portions of the service without informing the cluster. You do not need a user ID and password for monitoring.
For conceptual information about failover data services and scalable data services, see Sun Cluster Concepts Guide for Solaris OS.
Each component of Alliance Gateway has a data service that protects the component when the component is configured in a Sun Cluster environment. See the following table.
