WEBCAST: High Availability for Linux on IBM System z Servers
Speaker: Scott Loveland, IBM Customer Test Chief Architect
Systems/Product Assurance Engineering Professional
Abstract:
Linux virtual servers are increasingly being used to support
critical applications in IBM System z and zSeries server environments. As
the mission becomes more important; so does the need to ensure its
supporting infrastructure is highly available. But how? z/OS system
programmers know the best practices for eliminating single points of
failure for their systems; but may be unsure how to translate those
techniques to the Linux world. Admins coming from a distributed Linux
background may wonder how a virtualized environment on zSeries changes the
game. And both groups may ponder how to best marry the Linux and z/OS
worlds to maximize availability.
Wonder no more. This session will cover a set of high availability
architectures for Linux virtual servers (LVS); in the context of serving
data to WebSphere applications (though WebSphere itself won't be the main
focus). We'll discuss:
1. Single points of failure in an LVS environment; probabilities of each;
and the relative cost to eliminate them -- with examples of how to do so
2. The power of virtualization to minimize degradation of service in the
wake of failures; and to reduce the need for large clusters of redundant
servers
3. How software running on Linux virtual servers can work cooperatively
with a Parallel Sysplex and z/OS data sharing groups
4. Sample architecture specifics; including architectural decisions and
tradeoffs; configuration options; and product technologies used
