HACMP provides error detection and recovery to keep your business critical application up and available. Planning of the HACMP cluster is an important step in eliminating single points of failure which can affect your application. Once in production, the documentation of your cluster configuration will be very beneficial when planning maintenance, training new staff and making future upgrades. HACMP provides an online planning worksheets application which aids in the cluster planning process.
