This page is a gallery of cluster snapshots (please pardon the pun). Enjoy!

If you have photos of an interesting HACMP cluster which you'd like to share with us (and which we can legally show on this page), please drop us an e-mail.

Shark fin

This "shark" (i.e. this ESS unit) is used to provide disk storage to a three node cluster consisting of a p670, an LPAR from a partitioned p670 and a p660.

Here's the "shark" along with the two p670s. The p660 is in the rack which is barely visible on the left. The rack on the left also contains a two node cluster which has no shared disk (it's a web server that uses a database back-end). The black box in the background is TSM's tape library.

Here's one of the p670s (the one that isn't LPAR'd).

The Bush Tucker Cluster

One of our colleagues recently went "walk about" down under and came across this example of an Australian HA Cluster. Aboriginal legend speaks of a cluster that was assembled during the dreamtime from driftwood floating on the banks of the Yarra River and various RS/6000 desktop workstations that the great white hunter, Noel Cawthorne, came across near the Immense Blue Monolith* in what is now downtown Melbourne.

Each photograph is a hyperlink to a larger version.

* Not to be confused with Ayres Rock/Uluru which is red in colour and is, contrary to common belief, not a monolith.
