HA for MaxDB

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

Currently we are planning to setup HA for the Content Server and MaxDB installed in the AIX5.X server. I am not so sure if I can just swing the related directories to the other HA node during failover. Is there any good way for CS and MaxDB HA. Any documentation for this? Please help.

Regards,

Hi Lars,

Thanks for your information!

I realise that SAP is not giving much support on Unix HA, even for documentation. Even for the Netweaver Portal HA on Unix, we need to read web articles or blogs to have some deeper understanding.

For MaxDB HA on Unix, I think i will try the failover option with virtual host setup. Hope it works. Gonna test it out this weekend.

An HA setup is not something to "setup - next - next - finish". The official installation guides cover the differences between "normal" setups and HA setups. Since there are different methods of setting up a cluster the best for your environment should be discussed with IBM.
