Part 1: Introduction and overview
March 2005
This series uses current technologies and existing hardware and software products from IBM to help you design a highly available solution. In this article, view the various building blocks of the solution's blueprint and learn the requirements each building block must meet. Next, get an overview of IBM products used and how they help fulfill the requirements. And find out how the various products are assembled to produce the final, highly available solution.
Part 2: Setting up the hardware platform
March 2005
Take this tutorial to set up the hardware platform for a highly available environment using IBM BladeCenter™, FAStT storage and IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller.
Part 3: Set up security and the management cluster
April 2005
Set up the basic management software components, including IBM Directory Server and the underlying IBM DB2 database, in a highly available configuration using IBM Tivoli System Automation.
Part 4: Install and configure IBM TotalStorage SAN File System
June 2005
Set up IBM TotalStorage SAN File System to share data and make all data available to all application servers and the database.
Part 5: Set up DB2 UDB
June 2005
Use features in IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB) Version 8.2 to ensure your database is always running and available for transaction processing.
Part 6: Develop a highly available application serving engine
July 2005
Create a logical identifier for WebSphere Deployment Manager to enable the Deployment Manager's clients to connect using a host name without requiring access to Tivoli System Automation election details.
Part 7: Design a highly available load balancer and HTTP server
Aug 2005
Build a demilitarized zone (DMZ) for use in a continuous computing solution using WebSphere Edge Server as the load balancing sprayer and IBM HTTP Server (IHS) as the Web proxy server.
Part 8: Use sample scripts to test the highly available solution
Nov 2005
Get examples of how to test your highly available solution with sample test cases and procedures.
Download IBM product evaluation versions and get your hands on application development tools and middleware products from DB2®, Lotus®, Rational®, Tivoli®, and WebSphere®.
