PowerHA is IBM's high availability and disaster recovery solution for AIX. It uses clustering technology to provide continuous availability of applications even during planned or unplanned outages. PowerHA is available in Standard and Enterprise editions, with the Enterprise edition providing additional capabilities for multi-site configurations. Key features of PowerHA include automated workload failover, health monitoring, and support for storage-based replication technologies.

Split/Merge Handling PowerHA Linked Cluster
Policy Setting Split Merge Approach
Manual   Manual steps needed for recovery to continue
Tie Breaker   Tie break Holder side wins
Majority Rule  Greater of N/2 side wins
Else, side that includes node with the smallest node id
wins
Priority  Operator chooses a numerical value such as “largest
serial number”

Manual (operator controlled failover)
 Split/Merge Policies
– Administrator prompts
– Cluster will wait for Admin inputs
– Optional Policy: After N prompts allow auto-
recovery
– Custom action scripts can invoked at the
time of split or merge as well
 Defaults
– Number of prompts (N)=infinite
– Interval between notifications: once in 30
seconds and then increasing in frequency
– Auto-Recovery after N prompts

PowerHA AIX: Resource Optimized High Availability
• PowerHA provides for LPAR resource management during failovers
• Can readjust resources from the free pool
• Can enable CPU and memory as needed using CoD temp for memory
– For on/off CoD, you’ll need to write scripts for now
• Power Enterprise Pools option-both processors and memory are moveable
– Operator initiated via HMC command line or via custom scripts to automate

PowerHA on AIX with DLPAR cost savings example
• PowerHA and AIX are priced per processor core (license only the cores being used in the cluster)
• Taking advantage of the DLPAR technology in the example topology:
– Assume 770 cluster, 7 AIX and 7 PowerHA
– PowerHA price: 5,000/core = $35,000…..75,000 – 35,000 = savings: $40,000
– AIX price: 2145/core + 530/core = 2675/core = $40,125 – $21,400…..savings: $18,725
– Total savings….$58,725
U.S. example actual results may vary by country
