The next live virtual class is scheduled for
Date: Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Title: High Availability Applications Using Disk Mirroring
Speakers:
Dr. Holger Smolinski, IBM Boeblingen
Susanne Wintenberger, IBM Boeblingen
Michael Daubman, IBM STG Lab Services
Abstract:
RAID 1 mirrored disks are usually used to prevent you from data
loss in case of a disastrous error in a storage controller.
In this webcast we will show how even transient failures of storage
controllers can cause application outages.
We will present a solution which augments RAID1 to also ensure
application availability.
The solution; available as an IBM Lab Based Service for RHEL Version 4
and 5 for System z; provides:
* A SW disk mirroring solution (like RAID1) which does not block I/O on
transient outages of storage devices.
* Integration into the distribution to enables mirroring of root and
swap file systems.
* Ability to IPL/Boot with partially available disk configurations
* Enhanced recovery support offering selective recovery for transient
failures.
We will also discuss how customers using SUSE SLES 10 can solve the same
problems.
