Overview
M2000 provides complete local dual-node redundancy. The dual-node protection method is
used for the server node, disk array, network interface, and Ethernet switch so that all existing
single-node faults can be worked around.
Benefits
l Providing enhanced system maintenance
l Decreasing or eliminating system downtime caused by software or hardware faults
l Switching over active and standby servers automatically when faults occur
l Reducing the impact on services
Description
M2000 local HA system is comprised of two Sun servers. The Sun Cluster is used to manage
the servers. When M2000 HA system operates, one server is in the active state and the other
sever is in the standby state. When the active server is faulty or is not operational, the standby
server switches over automatically to work as the active server and ensures the smooth
operation of services. In this way, a secure and reliable network management system is
ensured.
Generally, all M2000 services at the application layer work on the active server to provide
services. The standby server monitors the operational status of the active server in real time
through heartbeat lines. When the active server does not work properly, M2000 system
switches over all the resources on the active server to the standby server so that M2000
system works properly.
The common application scenarios are as follows:
l When the active server is faulty and the standby server automatically takes over services
on the active server
When the standby server finds the faults on the active server through heartbeat lines, the
standby server takes over the resources on disk arrays, start the server of the Sybase
software, and start the processes of M2000 services to take over the entire network and to
provide services. The faults on the active server can be interrupted services or damaged
CPU.
l When user initiate the switchover between the active node and the standby node
manually

Issue 1.00 (2007-08-2302) Huawei Technologies Proprietary Page 51 of 53


Internal Open
Function Description of M2000 V200R006

In some scenarios, user can perform the switchover between the active node and the
standby node manually to reduce the offline time of the server. For example, upgrade the
patches in the operating system of M2000 server; upgrade the server of the Sybase
software; data changes are not involved when the application programs of M2000 server
are upgraded.
l When the check for routine operation and maintenance is performed
When user check the operating conditions of the server node periodically, such as the
power-on and power-off of the server node, the CPU of the server node, and the network
operational status, user can make use of the switchover between the active node and the
standby node to reduce the possibility of service interruption and to improve the
reliability of the system.
The HA system provides the following functions:
l Redundancy
♦ By default, the disk array redundancy policy of RAID5+1 is provided to ensure the
reliability of data.
♦ Dual-plane networking design can be used to work around the single
point-of-failure at the network layer and to reduce the switchover between server
nodes because of the single point-of-failure.
l Automatic switchover
♦ When any of the following faults occurs in the active server, the active server
switches over to the standby server automatically:
n The CPU is faulty.
n The memory is faulty.
n The connection to disk arrays fails.
n Main boards are faulty.
n The communication between the network adapter of the active server and the
LAN switch is disrupted.
♦ When any of the following software faults occurs in the active server, the active
server switches over to the standby server automatically:
n The operating system of the active server does not work properly.
n The server of the database does not work properly.
n Non-repairable faults occur on the application programs of M2000 sever.
♦ When any of the following faults occurs on the network, the switchover between
the active and standby servers does not happen and the services on the active
server are not disrupted because M2000 HA system adopts the dual-plane
networking solution:
n A single network port or network cable is disconnected.
n A single heartbeat line is disconnected.
n A single Ethernet switch is faulty.
n A single disk array is faulty.
l Consistency
The same software and hardware configuration is adopted on the active server and the

standby server. In addition, disk arrays and databases are shared between the active
server and the standby server. In this case, when the switchover is performed between the
active server and the standby server, the consistency of data is ensured.
l Convenient management and maintenance
The Sun Cluster and Veritas Volume manager are adopted in M2000 HA system to
implement the features of the HA system and the management maintenance function of
the volume manager. Encapsulating scripts can implement the switchover between the
active server and the standby server.
For the Sun HA system, the maintenance of each component and module can be
