Conference annecy::high_availability

130.0. "Watchdog/Autopilot question" by MLNORO::MALACRIDA () Thu Jun 05 1997 15:43

    
    I've put the following note in DIGITAL_UNIX conference, but haven't
    had too much satisfaction...
    Hope this is the right place to ask.
    Is DECwatchdog/Autopilot still a product (or whatever we want to call
    it) that we sell?
    Whith it I would like to setup an environment where two Peer Server
    (SNA gateway software running on DU) are one in hot backup to the other:
    there are nothing to share between the two machine (no disk, no
    devices), just one of the two machine has to startup the Peer Server 
    software when it realize that the other has died.
    
    Thanks a lot,

    This isn't probably the right conference where to ask but I couldn't
    find a better one ...
    
    I was looking for a software able to watch if another machine is up and
    running or just died, and to eventually start a recovery.
    I found on the UNIX layered product (OCT '96) a product  called:
    
    DECWATCHDOG/Autopilot for DEC OSF1
    
    that seemed to fit my requirement.
    
    Unfortunately it looks like this piece of software is no longer
    orderable.
    Does someone know the status of this software? Has it been retired
    even if it's still on CD? Is there some other software that can provide
    the same functionality?
    
    Thanks for any info you can provide?

watchdog is a CA product now...contact Jim Burton to get status.

Do they really want a cluster??
