OptiConnect and System i clustering

 

OptiConnect supports communication in a System i™ cluster.

A System i cluster is a collection of one or more systems or logical partitions that work together to provide a single, unified computing solution. Systems in a cluster are called cluster nodes. Communication between cluster nodes is based on TCP/IP protocols. OptiConnect software can be used to provide this communication between cluster nodes. The major cluster communication functions supported by OptiConnect include cluster heartbeat, application IP takeover, and device IP takeover.
