HA-Clusters Community Project (HA-Informix)

Dear OpenSolaris Governing Board members:
Please see our HA-Clusters community proposal for a Informix Dynamic
Server cluster agent (HA-Informix) for Open High Availability Cluster
(OHAC) as per 2.2 of
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ogb/policies/project-instantiation.txt
Your support in the instantiation of this project is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Neil
1) Purpose
The purpose of this project is to provide a failover agent for IBM
Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) as part of the open-source code base for
Solaris Cluster, namely Open High Availability Cluster (OHAC). The aim
of this project is to focus on IDS 11, code-named "Cheetah".
2) Sponsors
The Community Group sponsoring this project is the HA-Clusters
community and voted with 3 +1 votes and 0 -1 vote.
3) Initial Project Team
- Thorsten Frueauf
- Neil Garthwaite (Contact)
- Detlef Ulherr
4) Project Description
IDS 11 currently provides several availability features namely:
- High Availability Data Replication (HADR)
- Enterprise Replication (ER)
- Shared Disk Secondary server (SDS)
- Remote Standalone Secondary (RSS)
Refer to
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/data/informix/ids/Availability_whitepaper.pdf
for more details on the above features.
Developing an agent for IDS 11 for OHAC simply provides further
choice for availability and could be used together with the availability
features of IDS 11 or as a solution by itself.
5) Related Projects
Currently IBM provides a Sun Cluster failover agent for IDS that was
created for SC 3.1 update 2 for Solaris SPARC.
IBM provides this agent as free to download but does not offer any
formal support for the agent. Specifically the customer is encouraged to
modify the agent thereby owning the code. In particular the following
text is available when downloading the agent.
"IBM Informix HA Agent is sample code that helps customers in
setting up IDS (Informix Dynamic Server) in a Sun Cluster environment.
The package explains how this sample code works and how it can be used
to support IDS in a cluster environment. This package is basic and we
expect any customer to modify it based on their requirements."
6) Additional Information
The failover agent for IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) that this
project proposes will be new code and will not inherit any code from
IBM's current agent for IDS. It is our understanding from IBM that they
will not develop their agent further and therefore by developing an
agent for IDS 11, we will have a clear line of separation between the
agent developed by IBM for SC 3.1 update 2 for Solaris SPARC and this
project's agent for IDS 11 in OHAC.

Hello Neil,
Thanks for recording the project outline with the OGB. I'll
contact you offline to get you set up.
