Overview

novdocx (ENU) 10 August 2006

Overview

As corporations grow more international, fueled in part by the reach of the World Wide Web, the

requirement for service availability has increased. Novell® Cluster Services™ offers corporations

the ability to maintain 24x7x365 data and application services to their users while still being able to

perform maintenance and upgrades on their systems.

In the past few years, natural disasters (ice storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, and fires) have caused

unplanned outages of entire data centers. In addition, US federal agencies have realized the

disastrous effects that terrorist attacks could have on the US economy when corporations lose their

data and the ability to perform critical business practices. This has resulted in initial

recommendations for corporations to build mirrored or replicated data centers that are

geographically separated by 300 km or more (minimum acceptable being 200 km).

Many companies have built and deployed geographically mirrored data centers. The problem is that

setting up and maintaining the two or more centers is a very manual process that takes a great deal of

planning and synchronizing. Even configuration changes have to be carefully planned and

replicated. One mistake and the redundant site is no longer able to effectively take over in the event

of a disaster.

1.1 Disaster Recovery Implications

The implications of disaster recovery are directly tied to your data. Is your data mission critical? In

many instances, critical systems and data drive the business. If these services stop, the business

stops. When calculating the cost of downtime, some things to consider are

File transfers and file storage

Calendaring and collaboration

Web hosting

Critical databases

Productivity

Reputation

Continuous availability of critical business systems is no longer a luxury, it is a competitive business

requirement.The Gartner Group estimates that 40% of enterprises that experience a disaster will go

out of business in five years and only 15% of enterprises have a full-fledged business continuity plan

that goes beyond core technology and infrastructure.

1.2 Disaster Recovery Implementations

There are two main Novell Cluster Services implementations that you can use to achieve your

desired level of disaster recovery. These include a stretch cluster and a cluster of clusters. The

Novell Business Continuity Cluster product automates some of the configuration and processes used

in a cluster of clusters.

1.2.1 Stretch Clusters vs. Cluster of Clusters

Stretch Clusters

A stretch cluster consists of one cluster in which the nodes in the cluster are located in

geographically separate areas. All nodes in the cluster must be in the same eDirectory™ tree. In this

architecture, the data is mirrored between two data centers that are geographically separated. All the

machines in both data centers are part of one cluster, so that if a disaster occurs in one data center,

the other automatically takes over.

Figure 1-1 Stretch Cluster

Cluster of Clusters

A cluster of clusters consists of two or more clusters in which each cluster is located in a

geographically separate area. A cluster of clusters provides the ability to fail over selected or all

cluster resources from one cluster to another cluster. Typically, replication of data blocks between
