Scenarios: Managing high availability solutions
As a system operator or administrator of your high-availability solution, you need to perform common tasks like backup and system maintenance in your high-availability environment.
The following scenarios provide instructions on performing common system tasks, such as backups and upgrades, as well as examples of managing high-availability events, such as cluster partitions and failover. For each scenario, a model environment has been chosen. The instructions for each scenario correspond to that particular high-availability solution and are meant for example purposes only.
- Scenarios: Performing backups in a high-availability environment
Depending on your high availability-solution and your backup strategy, the method for backing up data can be different. However, there is a common set of tasks when you perform backup operations for systems in a high availability environment. - Scenario: Upgrading operating system in a high-availability environment
In this example, a system administrator is upgrading the operating system for two IBM® i systems in a PowerHA solution that is based on geographic mirroring. 
Scenario: Making a device highly available
In addition to independent disk pools, you can also provide high availability for other supported devices. In this situation, the high availability administrator wants to provide high availability to Ethernet lines.
