Re: H/A Replication Vendors and Temporal Tables

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From a pure replication standpoint SAN and Internal disk are identical 
for PowerHA. Operating system, user profiles, device descriptions and 
things of that nature (Think 'Q'libraries) live in the system ASP and 
they are not replicated at the disk level.

As Jim mentioned many of the key objects here get replicated through the 
Admin domain. These include:
User Profiles
Device Descriptions
Network attributes
System Values
Job Descriptions
and more. (even Token Ring Lines.  :-) :-) )

These are selective however. You may choose to replicate all user 
profiles EXCEPT admin accounts for example. You may do some system 
values but not others. Etc.

Your data, programs, queues, and all user objects including the IFS live 
in the iASP. THose are replicated. Whether it's IBM i or the SAN doesn't 
matter to anyone on IBM i. Only us Admins care at that point.
