Process documentationDB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows – High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR) Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR) is a replication feature of DB2 to make the database server highly available (shared nothing approach).

In this scenario, you have two separate DB2 database servers:

  • Primary database server

  • Standby database server

Both servers are kept in sync. In the case of a failure, the standby database server takes over the workload.

Note Note

HADR is only a replication feature. There is no failure detection and no automation facilities.

End of the note.

Process

To monitor the database servers and to automate the takeover in case of a failure, you have to set up a cluster management software to monitor the database servers and to automate the takeover in case of a failure.

Note Note

For AIX, Linux, and Solaris SPARC, we recommend that you use SA MP as cluster management solution. For more information, see the document IBM DB2 High Availability Solution: IBM Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms at:
