Re: Migrate iTERA to PowerHA

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of my customers uses PowerHA for most of the environment, but 
iCluster (HA Assist) for the *SYSBAS objects.  iCluster will replicate 
anything in *SYSBAS with some interesting exceptions ; directory 
entries,  job schedule entries, and a couple of others I don't remember 
off hand.

They use Aldon (another Rocket Software Product)  and the administrative 
domain just would not handle the Aldon requirements, hence the iCluster.

So in short the answer is yet, albeit with a different product.    
Altera and iCluster will not play together well in the same sandbox, so 
you'll have to pick that one.  Setting up iCluster is fast enough that I 
would can the Altera, set up iCluster to run in it's place and migrate 
everything into the iASP as you can.

Word of advice, I have found that creating the PowerHA mirroring before 
you populate the iASP is the easiest way to get things going, if you 
have the disk space.
