Features of MCCS
MCCS registers network cards, virtual IP addresses, processes, user programs, SCSILock disks, shared disks, mirror disks and , windows services, Oracle database, Oracle listener as resources for the management purposes.
Service level fault detection and automatic failover failover
MCCS not only detect on hardware, but it also offers detection on resources (such as network connection, application, platform, disk, etc) as well.
Therefore, if managed resources are not work properly, it will be either restarted or failovered to the standby server according to the defined action policies.
Support external shared storage and local disk replication environment
MCCS supports both the local disk copying environment and the shared disk environment.
Thus, it can enable users to select more flexible policies for implementation of highly available disk systems.
Cluster between Heterogeneous Platforms
MCCS is not influenced greatly by the hardware compatibility in a cluster.
Thus, there is no need to configure the IT service by using the same HW H/W for the nodes composing a cluster.
Remote Disaster Recovery
MCCS is a high availability that can be configured with no distance limitation between the nodes.
That means standby server can be easily configured on a remote site without any charge.
Provides the Management Web Console
MCCS allows user to use a web browser to control and manage MCCS from a local server or remote server.
At each server, you can use the URL and login information to connect to the server where MCCS is configured. There is no need to configure an additional environment file.
Support Multi Group
A Group is a group of resources (ex. networks cards, IP addresses, disk, applications) that manage trouble monitoring, recovery and failovers in MCCS, based on the dependency.
It is the unit of resource group where failover occurs.Within a cluster, you can configure multiple groups. For this reason, you can make Active/Standby or Active/Active configurations. (Active/Active configuration means that each server operates different service.)
MCCS supports a failover group and a parallel group at the same time. In the multiple group environment, each group operates independently.
